Morphology

conductorship = conductor (transparent) = conductor + ship

Formed from the noun 'conductor' plus the productive suffix '-ship' meaning state or office, so the meaning 'the position of being a conductor' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Conductorship comes from conductor, meaning 'one who leads', and the ending -ship, meaning 'the role or position', like friendship showing 'being a friend'. So conductorship is the job or role of leading an orchestra or musical group.
