Morphology

clientship = client (transparent) = client + ship

Formed by the regular noun-forming suffix '-ship' added to 'client' to indicate the group/practice of having clients, a predictable derivation.

Etymology

Clientship comes from client, from Latin 'cliens' meaning 'dependent' or 'follower', and the ending -ship, which names a group or state, like in friendship or leadership. So clientship means the group of clients a person or company has or the practice of serving them.
