Morphology
ambassadorship = ambassador (transparent) = ambassador + ship
Standard noun formation: 'ambassador' + '-ship' denotes the office, rank, or duties, which learners can infer from knowing 'ambassador'.
Etymology
Ambassadorship comes from ambassador plus -ship, like in friendship. An ambassador is someone 'sent' to speak for a country, and -ship means the 'state or job' of being that person. So an ambassadorship is the job or rank of being a country's official representative.
