The office or position of being a deemster; the rank or authority of a deemster judge.
From 'deemster' plus the suffix '-ship' (indicating office, position, or status). This formal suffix combines with the judicial title to create an official designation.
The word deemstership shows how the '-ship' suffix has been used for centuries to turn occupational titles into formal positions—like 'kingship' and 'judgeship,' it makes an ordinary word sound like an official institution, which is exactly what the Isle of Man wanted.
