Brigadiership

/ˌbrɪɡəˈdɪrʃɪp/ noun

Definition

The rank, position, or authority of a brigadier in the military.

Etymology

From brigadier (military officer rank) + -ship (suffix denoting rank, position, or status). This creates an abstract noun for the office itself.

Kelly Says

Brigadiership represented the breaking point where officers stopped being nobility appointed by family connections and started actually needing proven tactical military skill.
