Is fiery an abstract or concrete noun?

"Fiery" is an adjective, not a noun.

Here's why:

* Adjectives describe nouns.

* Concrete nouns refer to things that are tangible and can be experienced with the senses (e.g., fire, heat).

* Abstract nouns refer to concepts, ideas, or qualities (e.g., anger, passion).

While "fiery" can be used to describe something concrete (like a fiery sunset), it's the quality of the sunset, not the sunset itself.
