circa 1600, "openness of mind, impartiality, frankness, freedom from reserve or disguise"
from Latin candor "openness, brightness, radiance, beauty, heat/glow, purity"
from PIE root kand- "to shine"
"The lucid sfir or pure candor is not the easiest to achieve, but it generates its power exactly from this straightforwardness."
