Morphology

sponsorship = sponsor (transparent) = sponsor + ship

A regular abstract nominalization: '-ship' marks the state, role, or act associated with a sponsor, so the meaning is directly derived from 'sponsor'.

Etymology

Sponsorship comes from sponsor, a word that originally meant someone who 'promises' to help or pay for something. So sponsorship is the act of officially supporting a person or event, often by giving money.
