Morphology

presidentship = president (transparent) = president + ship

Formed by the noun 'president' plus the productive noun-forming suffix '-ship' meaning the office or state of being a president.

Etymology

Presidentship is made of the word president and the ending -ship. President comes from old Latin words meaning 'before' and 'to sit', so it meant someone who 'sits in front' or leads, and -ship means a 'position' or 'state', just like in leadership, so presidentship is the position, term, or duties of being a president.
