admiralship

/ˈædmɝəɫʃɪp/ noun

The state, property, or office of being an admiral.

Word Origin Admiral comes from Arabic amir 'commander,' via Medieval Latin and Old French. The -ship suffix (from Proto-Germanic skapiz) denotes the office or state, so admiralship is the position of being an admiral. The same Arabic root gives us emir (a prince or commander) and emirate. The -ship suffix is the same as in friendship, hardship, lordship.
