Enemyship

/ˈɛnəmiˌʃɪp/ noun

Definition

The state, condition, or relationship of being enemies; enmity or hostility between parties.

Etymology

From 'enemy' plus the English suffix '-ship' (meaning 'state or condition of'). It follows the pattern of words like 'friendship,' 'kinship,' and 'leadership.'

Kelly Says

While 'enemyship' is technically correct in formation, English speakers preferred the simpler word 'enmity' so thoroughly that 'enemyship' never took off—it shows how English tends to favor one word over multiple options.
