Morphology

moderatorship = moderator (transparent) = moderator + ship

Formed by a straightforward derivation from 'moderator' + the nominal suffix '-ship' indicating office or position, which learners can readily interpret.

Etymology

Moderatorship comes from moderator, and that comes from moderate, meaning 'keep things calm' or 'not too extreme', plus the ending -ship, which means 'state' or 'position', like in friendship. So moderatorship is the 'position of being a moderator', the role of the person who keeps meetings or online discussions calm.
