Angelship

/ˈændʒəlˌʃɪp/ noun

Definition

The state, condition, or status of being an angel; angelic nature or quality.

Etymology

From 'angel' + '-ship' (suffix denoting state or condition, as in friendship, leadership). A theoretical term from theological philosophy.

Kelly Says

The '-ship' suffix creates nouns for abstract conditions (friendship, citizenship, kinship)—angelship captures the philosophical idea of 'what it means to be angelic' rather than just an angel!
