Morphology
controllership = controller (transparent) = controller + ship
Formed by adding the relational noun suffix '-ship' to the agent noun 'controller' (itself 'control' + '-er'), yielding 'office or position of a controller'.
Etymology
Controllership comes from control, which means 'to direct or manage', and the part -ship, which makes a word mean a 'role' or 'office', as in leadership. So controllership is the job or office of a controller, especially for managing a company's finances.
