Yagya is derived from the verb - "Yaj" = Fire Sacrifice. Yagya is a combination of Traditional Vedic Rituals perfomed for getting nature support in a particular direction. In a YAGYA, 6 duties are performed - Bhakti (devotion), Puja (worship), Jap (recite of Vedic Mantra or Vedic Verses for a particular purpose), Hawan (fire sacrifice), Daan (donation) & Brahman Bhojan
When we say sacrifice that means we are sacrificing herbs, wood and fruits whatever literally we are offering to the Fire. We are sacrificing them to the Fire burning them up totally, taking away whatever prana is left in them. Thus the offerings are sacrificedthier Life) in Fire that becomes a Yagya.
In Bhagwat Gita Lord Krishna says: "Yagya Karmasu Kaushalam" It means doing the right karma at the right time is yagya. Yagya is also referred to as having the power of Kaamdhenu (the celestial cow possessed by Rishi vashisht) that it can give desired object to the person who performs this sacrifice.
