The office, position, or term of a councilor; the role and responsibilities that come with serving on a council.
From councilor plus -ship (a suffix indicating office, status, or rank), creating a noun to name the position of being a council member.
A councilorship is usually a part-time position in smaller towns but can be nearly full-time in large cities—and unlike being mayor, it's often a stepping stone where politicians learn to negotiate with multiple other decision-makers!
