Aldermanries

/ˈɔːl.dər.mən.riz/ noun

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.
