da "Watergate scandal" ossia "Scandalo Watergate" (vedi), un episodio clamoroso del 1972 che portò alle dimissioni del presidente degli Stati Uniti Richard Nixon, ritenuto mente principale di un sabotaggio elettorale; in seguito lo si chiamò solamente "Watergate" e ciò favorì l'uso giornalistico di utilizzare "-gate" come sinonimo di "scandalo", partendo in particolare dal "Winegate" del 1978 in Francia.
