Kagutsuchi is more like an explosion. I don't believe Tobirama was referring to Amaterasu in specific.
The name Kagutsuchi was originally a compound phrase, consisting of kagu, an Old Japanese root verb meaning "to shine"; tsu, the Old Japanese possessive particle; and chi, an Old Japanese root meaning "force, power".
Kagutsuchi is a Mangekyo ability, like Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi. It's named after the god of fire in Japanese mythology. While it's individual parts might be phrases, it's not a word Kishi just made up.
