Etymology
Apostleship comes from the word apostle, from a Greek word made of apo- ('away') and a root meaning 'to send', so an apostle is a person 'sent out'. The ending -ship means 'the state of being', as in friendship. So apostleship is the state, role, or mission of being an apostle — the authority and duty of someone who is sent out.
