Morphology
commissionership = commissioner (transparent) = commission + er + ship
Formed regularly from 'commissioner' + '-ship' to mean the office or period of serving as a commissioner, a straightforward nominal derivation.
Etymology
Commissionership comes from commission, which comes from an old Latin word meaning 'to entrust', plus the ending -ship, like in leadership, which means 'state or position'. So commissionership is the job or position of being a commissioner, a person given responsibility for a task.
