cierge (wax candle used in religious rites) · cereus
çekim: çoğul cierges
eş: bougie, chandelle
köken: Inherited from Old French cierge, cirge, from Latin cereus (“waxy”), from cera (“wax”). The French word has an irregular development, possibly due to its contact with liturgical Latin or perhaps influence from vierge. Compare Dalmatian cir and Italian cero. Sense 2 is a semantic loan from translingual Cereus, from the same etymon of Latin cereus (“waxy, waxen”).
aile: arriver à la fumée des cierges
Mais qu'on retrouve matin dans l'église qui roupille / Raide comme une saillie, blanc comme un cierge de Pâques
