I don't know that it's the origin of the term, but the only other place on this site where I can find the Pincer Pawn mentioned is in this variant.

Where does the name Pincer Pawn come from? I understand the name is useful for distinguishing it from regular Pawns, but since Abbott does not use the term in his descriptions of Ultima, I followed his lead and called it a Pawn on the Ultima page, and I merely mentioned that it is also called a Pincer Pawn.
