The state, rank, or condition of being a Brahman in Hindu society, or the spiritual status associated with brahmin identity.
From Sanskrit 'brahman' plus English suffix '-hood' meaning state or condition. This combines Hindu religious terminology with English word-formation patterns.
Adding '-hood' to create abstract nouns (like childhood, manhood) was such a productive pattern in English that it even got applied to words from other languages—'brahmahood' reflects Victorian-era scholars trying to explain Indian caste and spirituality to English readers.
