what exactly does it mean???

Although several of the other answers are correct, the word Pyro is a shortened form of Pyromaniac. The word maniac means A person that has an unhealthy facination with something.
Thus a pyromaniac has an unhealthy obsession with fire. Often a pyromaniac will also be an arsonist.
Hope this helps

It came from the Greek language originally, with a meaning of "having to do with fire, flame, or heat." It's used in compound words
