Creatorhood

/kriːˈeɪtərˌhʊd/ noun

Definition

The state, condition, or role of being a creator.

Etymology

From 'creator' (Latin creator, agent noun from creare) plus '-hood' (Germanic -hād, meaning state or condition). This follows the productive English pattern seen in 'godhood,' 'manhood,' and 'priesthood.'

Kelly Says

English speakers intuitively understand '-hood' well enough to create words on the fly like 'creatorhood' even if they're rare, which is why you can almost read someone's mind just by knowing their word-building habits.
