Definition
Plural form of captaincy; the position, rank, or office of being a captain.
Etymology
From captain (from Old French capitain, from Latin caput, 'head') plus -cy (suffix forming abstract nouns of state or condition). Captaincy became standard English in the 1500s.
Kelly Says
Throughout history, 'captaincies' were more than just leadership titles—in colonial South America, captaincy-generals were enormous territories controlled by military governors, and a captain's authority could extend over millions of people and vast territories.
