Morphology

administratorship = administrator (transparent) = administrator + ship

Standard nominalization: '-ship' forms a noun indicating the office, role, or period of serving as an administrator, which is directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

Administratorship comes from the Latin root administrare 'to serve' plus the ending -ship meaning 'state or position', just like leadership, so it naturally means the role or time someone spends serving as an administrator of an organization or system.
