The 'simple' answer is that ping is a query of "can you hear me?" In its most simple use ping is used to determine if a specific network path merely works, but it is also used by reporting round trip time to measure latency (although most gamers will call it "lag").

What is the full form of word ping?
Ping is a program that sends a series of packets over a network or the Internet to a specific computer in order to generate a response from that computer. The other computer responds with an acknowledgment that it received the packets. Ping was created to verify whether a specific computer on a network or the Internet exists, and is connected. Some have claimed that the word "ping" is actually an acronym for "Packet Internet (or Inter-Network) Groper", deliberately contrived to play on the fact that pinging with a computer is similar to what submariners do with sonar. Both the computer and the submarine's sonar send out a "ping", in the form of either a series of packets or a brief burst of sound. The ping "bounces" off the target and then returns to let you know the target is there. Ping is both a noun and a verb, e.g., "Ping that computer", or "the router didn't return a ping". Ping is built into almost every network-capable operating system. It is often believed that "Ping" is an abbreviation for Packet Internet Groper, but Ping's author has stated that the names comes from the sound that a sonar makes.

I believe the word ping is something like lag on games. The more ping you have, the worse the lag gets.
What is the Difference between Ping and latency?
As a metric of network performance, Ping, also known as Network Latency, is a measurement of the time that it take for a small message (or a "Ping") to be sent from your computer to another computer on the internet, then returned back to you. Ping is typically measured in milliseconds. Low numeric results or a "Low Ping" is desirable for good network performance over a "High Ping". Ping is also the name of of command-line command that can be typed to initiate a "ping" and measure the time that it takes for the message be returned to your computer.
