The territory, domain, or dominion ruled by an emir or emeer.
From emeer plus -ate (a suffix from Latin meaning 'office' or 'domain'). This follows the pattern of creating territorial nouns like 'sultanate' or 'caliphate' to describe lands ruled by specific rulers.
English speakers borrowed the Arabic word emir, then immediately Anglicized it by adding English suffixes like -ate to create institutional nouns, showing how languages mix and adapt foreign words to fit their own grammatical patterns.
