Nguồn gốc từ
From fire + wall. Compare brânmuorre, brandmuur, Brandmauer, Feuermauer, brandvägg, brandmur, eldvegg. The verb sense for using maximum power or acceleration comes from the engine's firewall being the limit of forward movement of the throttle controls on many simpler vehicles; thus, to get the maximum engine output, one would push the throttle levers or pedal all the way to the firewall.
