Etymology
Nationhood combines nation, from a Latin word that meant 'people born in the same place', and the ending -hood, which means 'state' or 'condition' and appears in words like childhood and adulthood. So, nationhood is the 'state of being a nation', meaning an independent country or the qualities that make one a nation.
