First of all, it's not a word, it's a phrase. It's French, meaning literally 'pen name'. As an English idiom the meaning is 'pen name'.
Also, it's not "real" French either; rather, it was an "evolution" from the French phrase "nom de guerre", which meant "war name". Why the need to bastardize a perfectly good term instead of using a word already perfect for the task ("pseudonym") is well beyond me.
