Morphology

coauthorship = coauthor (transparent) = co + author + ship

The noun is formed by adding the productive abstract-noun suffix '-ship' to the clear base 'coauthor', yielding 'the state or condition of being coauthors'.

Etymology

Coauthorship is made of co- 'together', author 'writer', and -ship 'state', as in partnership. So, coauthorship means the state or act of writing something together with one or more people.
