Morphology

czarship = czar (transparent) = czar + ship

The noun is formed from 'czar' + the productive suffix '-ship' meaning office or status, so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word czarship comes from czar, a title that comes from Caesar, the name of a Roman 'ruler', and the ending -ship, as in friendship, which means 'state or office'. So, czarship is the 'office or rule' of a czar.
