late Middle English (in the Latin sense): from Latin candor ‘whiteness’. The current sense dates from the mid 18th century; the development of the senses paralleled that of candid.
wiktionary
From Latin candor(“brightness, whiteness”), from candeō(“I shine”).
etymonline
candor (n.)
"openness of mind, impartiality, frankness, freedom from reserve or disguise," c. 1600, from Latin candor "purity, openness," originally "whiteness, brightness, radiance," from candere "to shine, to be white" (from PIE root *kand- "to shine"). Borrowed earlier in English (c. 1500) with the Latin literal sense "extreme whiteness."
