Etymology

Multiwall is made from multi- 'many' and wall 'layer' or 'barrier', like the multi- in 'multiple'. A helpful image is a bag or sheet built from several thin walls stacked together: the many layers protect the contents and keep out moisture or heat, so a multiwall product is one with two or more layers for protection or insulation.
