/ˌfʌɪə(r) ən(d) ˈbrɪmstən/, U.S.

/ˌfaɪ(ə)r ən ˈbrɪmˌstoʊn/

Forms: see fire n. and int. and and conj.¹, adv., and n.¹ and brimstone n.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: fire n., and conj.¹, brimstone n.

Etymology: < fire n. + and conj.¹ + brimstone n., after Old French feu et soufre (13th cent.).The Old French phrase is modelled on post-classical Latin ignis et sulphur, itself after Hellenistic Greek πῦρ καὶ θεῖον, which is in turn after Hebrew 'ēš wĕ-gāp̄ĕrīṯ (Psalm 11:7, Ezekiel 38:22, etc.).

A. n. (and adj.)

1. In religious contexts: burning sulphur as an instrument of divine retribution or as one of the torments of the damned. Hence by metonymy: hell, damnation, divine punishment.
