Archership

/ˈɑːrtʃərˌʃɪp/ noun

Definition

The skill, practice, or rank of being an archer; proficiency in using a bow and arrow.

Etymology

From 'archer' plus the abstract noun suffix '-ship' (indicating a state, rank, or quality), creating a word for the condition of being skilled in archery.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-ship' often marks qualities or statuses—we see it in 'friendship,' 'leadership,' and 'championship'—so 'archership' emphasizes archery not just as an activity but as a meaningful skill or rank.
