Definition
The territory or jurisdiction governed by an archbishop; the office and authority of an archbishop.
Etymology
From archbishop + -ric (a suffix from Old English -rice meaning 'rule' or 'kingdom'). The -ric suffix appears in words like 'bishopric' and 'bailiwick,' indicating a domain of authority. It became the standard term for an archbishop's diocesan territory during the medieval period.
Kelly Says
The -ric suffix is an old English sign of power—it basically means 'the kingdom of' or 'the rule of.' So an archbishopric is literally 'the archbishop's kingdom,' revealing how much territorial control these religious leaders wielded throughout history.
