chandelier

Chandelier was borrowed from French chandelier, which comes from Latin candelabrum, itself from candela, meaning "a candle."

The facts don't describe a shift in meaning — the word seems to have carried the idea of a candle-holder from Latin through French into English.

Chandelier is a doublet of candelabrum, meaning both words descend from the same Latin root, candela — the same root that gives English candle.
