 Rapunzel<<<<
I came across an interesting little word yesterday while looking up an entirely different one:
prick·et n.
A small point or spike for holding a candle upright.
A candlestick having such a spike
I just have to add this your post. I saw this by happenstance while also looking up another word:
Bobeche
a slightly cupped ring placed over the socket of a candleholder to catch the drippings of a candle
FWIW, who knows, if we keep this on, we might yet be able to name all the parts of a candleholder before the year is over!
