conductorship

/kənˈdəktɝʃɪp/ noun

The position of conductor of an orchestra.

Word Origin Conductorship is the office of a conductor. Conductor comes from Latin conducere 'to lead together' — con- + ducere 'to lead'. The -or suffix makes it 'one who leads together'. Then -ship from Old English -scipe 'state, office' (related to shape) makes it the state of being that leader. The root ducere gives us a huge family: duct (a channel that leads), duke (a leader), produce (lead forward), reduce (lead back), introduce (lead into), and aqueduct (water leader).
