- واژهنامه · French & English to Persian Epistemological Dictionary candidement|candid|candidly Candidus, blanc, de candere, être blanc (=> CANDEUR) ; espagn. et ital. candido. Le blanc est le symbole de l'innocence. Etymology: The leap from "candid" to "candidate" might seem to require a rocket-powered pogo stick today but Latin candidat-us "clothed in white," the origin of our word "candidate," comes from candidus "white" just as does "candid." The reason? Roman candidates for political office wore a white toga during their campaigns. The verb root (candere) is also found in incendere "to kindle, set afire," the origin of English "incendiary," "incense," and "frankincense." An early source of artificial light, "candle," is also a descendent, and a candle-maker is a chandler (candle+er), of which there must have been many, judging from the number of people still bearing that name today. PIE kand- : Also kend-. To shine. dast-na-xorda sâda-del xâm/tâza-kâr
