Morphology
This is a straightforward adjective+noun composition: 'fiery' (flame-like, intense) directly modifies 'display' (an exhibition), so the sense of a vivid, intense exhibition is transparently derivable from the parts. The composition follows a common, literal descriptive pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words is likely to understand the phrase.
Etymology
Fiery display comes from the picture of a show with real flames or bright fireworks: fiery means 'like fire' and display means 'show'. So, a fiery display is used for something very bright, intense, or full of passion.
