bachelorship

/ˈbætʃəɫɝʃɪp/ noun

The state of being a bachelor.

Word Origin Bachelor comes from Medieval Latin baccalarius, originally meaning a young knight or vassal farmer — someone not yet fully established. The suffix -ship (from Proto-Germanic *skapiz 'state, condition') turns it into the state of being a bachelor. So bachelorship is literally the condition of being a young, unattached person, just like friendship or scholarship.
