Morphology

assessorship = assessor (transparent) = assess + or + ship

Formed by adding the productive suffix '-ship' to the clear base 'assessor' to mean the office or role of an assessor.

Etymology

Assessorship comes from assessor + -ship. An assessor originally was someone who 'sat beside' a judge to give advice and make decisions, and it is related to the verb assess, meaning 'to judge', so an assessorship is the office or role of a person who evaluates or judges.
