CANDELABRAS
Noun
candelabras
plural of candelabra
Usage notes
Strictly speaking, the Latin word candelabrum (a multipartite candle holder) is singular, with candelabra as its plural. However, in English, candelabra is widely used in the singular, leading to what pedants consider the false plural candelabras.
