candlestickn.

/ˈkand(ə)lstɪk/

Forms: see candle n. and stick n.¹

Etymology: Old English candelsticca , < candel candle n. + sticca stick n.¹ Compare candle-staff n.: there is no ground for the inference that it was originally ‘a piece of pointed wood’; apparently the earliest recorded meaning was the metallic ‘stalk’ or shaft of a candelabrum.

1. A support for a candle; formerly a general name, including chandeliers, simple or branched, upright or pendent, branches, lustres, etc.; now chiefly a movable stand for holding a candle.
