Correctorship

/kəˈrɛk.tər.ʃɪp/ noun

Definition

The office, position, or authority of a corrector; the role or responsibility of making corrections.

Etymology

From 'corrector' plus '-ship' suffix (denoting office or position), creating a noun that describes the formal position or role of correction.

Kelly Says

Correctorship suggests the dignity of an official position—it makes the job of catching errors sound important and scholarly, the way 'proofreader' never quite manages to.
