The position, office, or tenure of being a censor or official judge.
Formed from 'censurer' plus the suffix '-ship' (meaning position or state), similar to 'leadership' or 'citizenship.' The suffix originated from Old English and indicates an official role or condition.
This word is so rare that it's barely used today, but it echoes when societies appointed official truth-enforcers—a job that's cycled in and out of fashion throughout history.
