Morphology

traineeship = trainee (transparent) = train + ee + ship

Formed by adding the productive noun-forming suffix '-ship' to 'trainee', yielding a standard noun meaning the state or period of being a trainee.

Etymology

Traineeship comes from trainee (a person who is being trained) and the ending -ship (meaning 'a state, role, or period'), like in friendship. So a traineeship is the time or position when someone is trained and prepared for a job.
