The position, rank, or territory ruled by an emir.
From emir (an Arab ruler) plus the English suffix -ship, which creates nouns denoting rank, office, or position—used in words like kingship, friendship, and citizenship.
The suffix '-ship' is one of English's most productive tools for creating nouns of position and relationship, and attaching it to words from other languages (like emirship) shows English's 'magpie' nature—it borrows and combines freely.
