Surface Forms

editorship singular
editorships plural

Morphology

editorship = editor (transparent) = editor + ship

The suffix '-ship' clearly indicates a state or condition, making the meaning derivable from 'editor'.

Etymology

Editorship comes from editor, with edit meaning 'to prepare or make public', plus the ending -ship meaning 'position' or 'state', like in friendship or leadership. So editorship is the 'position of being an editor'.
