The position, office, or authority of being a commissary.
From commissary + -ship suffix (meaning 'state of being' or 'position'). Follows the English pattern of creating nouns describing roles or offices.
The -ship suffix appears in hundreds of English words (friendship, leadership, kingdom) and originally meant 'shape' or 'condition'—showing how abstract our language is in describing positions of power.
