The position, rank, or authority of a guru, or the period during which someone serves as a spiritual teacher.
From Sanskrit 'guru' (teacher or master) plus English suffix '-ship' (denoting position or status), combining Indian spiritual tradition with English word-formation patterns.
The suffix '-ship' appears in 'friendship,' 'leadership,' and 'kingship'—it's been the English language's favorite way to turn roles into nouns for over a thousand years, making it instantly understandable even for new combinations.
