烈

liè

ardent

intense; fierce; stern; upright; to give one's life for a noble cause; exploits; achievements

rows of flame (灬) + sound (列) = fierce and ardent

灬 (fire) drives the meaning: flames that burn fiercely, evoking intensity, valor, and sacrifice. 列 mainly contributes the sound liè and does not add to the sense.
