chancellorship

/ˈtʃænsəɫɝʃɪp/ noun

The status of being a chancellor.

Word Origin Chancellor originally referred to a court official stationed at the lattice screen (cancelli) that separated the public from the judge. That's why cancel (cross out with lattice-like lines) shares the same root. Chancellorship is the state of being that official, with the -ship suffix meaning 'state, condition' — the same as in friendship.
