The position, office, or term of service of an arbitrator who resolves disputes.
Formed by combining arbitrator (from Latin arbitrātor) with the English suffix -ship (denoting office, position, or state). This suffix pattern is common for professional roles: leadership, partnership, judgeship.
The -ship suffix is fascinating because it's been used in English for over a thousand years to transform roles into titled positions. Words like kingship, friendship, and membership all follow this same ancient pattern to show importance and formality.
