A straightforward compound of 'star' + 'fire' where the meaning (a star-like bright light) is directly inferable from its parts.

Etymology

Starfire comes from joining star ('a bright point in the sky') and fire ('light and heat'), so it gives the picture of a light that shines or twinkles like a burning star. That's why starfire can mean a bright, sparkling light you see in the night sky.
