Definition
The position, role, or status of being a commentator; the work or profession of providing commentary.
Etymology
From 'commentator' plus the suffix '-ship' (denoting a position or condition). This noun emerged in the 20th century as broadcasting professionalized commentary as a distinct career.
Kelly Says
Sports commentatorship is one of the few professions where being exceptionally entertaining is literally part of your job performance—a commentator's personality shapes the sport's culture, which is why famous commentators sometimes become more famous than the athletes they're describing!
