The behavior, practices, or domain of courtiers; the world of court life and court etiquette; the collective domain of courtiers.
From 'courtier' + '-ery' (suffix meaning the practice, domain, or collective group), though this is a rare or archaic formation compared to 'courtiership.'
Words ending in '-ery' often suggest a collective world—like 'snobbery' or 'trickery'—so 'courtiery' implies not just one courtier but a whole culture of flattery, intrigue, and sophisticated games!
