Definition
Plural of aldermanry; multiple territories, jurisdictions, or offices governed by aldermen.
Etymology
From aldermanry (alderman + -ry, suffix indicating office or domain, like archery or carpentry) + -ies (plural suffix); following standard pluralization of -ry words.
Kelly Says
Medieval cities carved themselves into overlapping aldermanries, each controlling trades, justice, and taxes—it created a system of checks and balances that accidentally invented early democracy.
