In summary

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”).
