a fire hose that turned its rage into satisfying before-and-after content.

means A machine that blasts water at high pressure through a narrow nozzle to strip dirt, grime, mold, and old paint off surfaces like driveways, decks, and siding.

from A plain compound of "pressure" and "washer," built from exactly what it does. "Pressure" comes through Old French from Latin "pressura," the act of pressing, from "premere," to press. "Washer" is simply a thing that washes, from Old English "wascan." The device itself is a 20th-century invention, born of the realization that water moving fast enough does the scrubbing for you; the name followed the machine, no romance required.
