Morphology

sistership = sister (transparent) = sister + ship

Formed by adding the productive suffix '-ship' to 'sister' to indicate the state/quality or relation of being a sister, which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Sistership comes from sister plus the ending -ship, which makes a word for a 'state' or a 'relationship', just like in friendship. So sistership means the special bond or relationship between sisters.
