Morphology

visitorship = visitor (semi-transparent) = visitor + ship

While the base 'visitor' is clear, the suffix '-ship' adds a specialized meaning related to authority or period of service.

Etymology

Visitorship comes from the word visitor and visit, which means 'to go to see', plus the ending -ship, which means 'office' or 'period' as in leadership. So a visitorship can be the official time or role of a Visitor who inspects and oversees an institution.
