From hot + wash. Some sources say this refers to the practice by some soldiers of dousing their weapons in extremely hot water as a means of removing grit and residue after firing. Others interpret "hot" as referring to immediacy (not temperature), and "wash" to be used metaphorically (compare come out in the wash).
hotwash (plural hotwashes)
