no. ganking come from the word gangking. it means that a group of people attacking 1 enemy..
it usualy beign used in a pvp term, when a group of people kill 1 (poor) guy.
gangking is also can be called to when a group of people kill a strong monster, but thats just named "raiding".

"Killing a (weaker) player while he is questing and doesn't show interest in PvP at that time"
is called "PK". which means player killer. its a term for strong people who kill weak people for their own fun, beign an assholes more alike.
this option exist in many games, that have a "PK system". which allow you to attack other people out of no-where.
in world of warcraft the Pk system exist in a pvp servers. when you meet players from the opposite union (horde-alliance). in other servers (like rp), the enemy has to agree for a duel, to be PKed.

also, when some one strong Pk some other guy, and wait for him in the spawning zone to kill him over and over again. that is called "PK Farming".
it's a reason to inform a GM (game master) about it. and if that dont help, try to avoid every way, and if that dont help- leave the game for 1-2 hours till he go away.
