In the direction of a candlestick or candles; an archaic or poetic term suggesting movement toward light.
Compound of 'candlestick' and '-ward' (from Old English 'weard,' meaning direction). This follows the pattern of words like 'homeward' or 'skyward,' though it's quite rare.
Candlestickward is such a wonderfully archaic word that it barely survives in modern usage except in very old texts or experimental poetry—it's like a linguistic fossil of how people once described moving toward light!
