Morphology

pyrotechny + display

The phrase is directly compositional: 'pyrotechny' (fireworks/pyrotechnic skill or effects) combined with 'display' (a show) yields the straightforward meaning 'a fireworks show'. This noun+display pattern is common cross-linguistically (e.g., 'espectáculo pirotécnico', 'spectacle pyrotechnique'), so a learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Pyrotechny display comes from old words that mean 'fire' and 'skill'. People who made fireworks used skill with fire to make bright patterns in the sky, so the phrase now means 'a show of fireworks'.
