Wonder where the title comes from...
Was wondering the same thing too. The closest I can guess is this definition:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/candelabrum#Latin
So a 'branched candlestick', two lights joined at the base, whose lights can be snuffed out at any moment.
Just me guessing
Edit:
Whoops, while looking at chandelier which can be considered a 'hanging candelabra' I veered into that page instead.
