Etymology

Pyro comes from the Greek word πυρ (pyr) meaning "fire".

Puchi (プチ?) is a French loan word in Japanese, from petit, meaning "petite", "small", or "mini".

A flare is a pyrotechnical phenomenon that produces intense amounts of heat and energy that does not result in an explosion (an immediate release of energy).
