Crossword Genius

Left by end of fireworks display (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sport

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'display' is the definition.
(to sport an item is to wear or display it)

'left by end of fireworks' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'port' (left side of a ship - opposite of starboard).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'end of fireworks' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'port' put after 's' is 'SPORT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sport that I've seen before include "Abnormal" , "Game; display" , "form of exercise?" , "Fun; wear" , "Wear - game - generous type" .)
