Gazetteership

/ɡæzəˈtɪrʃɪp/ noun

Definition

The position, office, or profession of being a gazetteer; the role or authority of someone who compiles geographical information.

Etymology

From 'gazetteer' plus '-ship' (a suffix indicating position or office, from Old English 'scipe'); follows the pattern of 'authorship,' 'kinship,' etc.

Kelly Says

The '-ship' suffix is one of English's most productive word-building tools—it transforms almost any noun into a position or quality, and it's so old that we barely notice it, but without it we couldn't express 'friendship,' 'leadership,' or 'gazetteership!'
