Etymology
A candelabrum is a form of candlestick, an object that holds a candle, and a candelabrum is a branched candlestick that supports multiple candles. The term is sometimes extended to chandeliers, but the two differ in that a candelabrum is placed on a surface, while a chandelier is hung from the ceiling.
