ealdormanshipn.

Brit.

/eɪˈaldəmənʃɪp/,

/ˈaldəmənʃɪp/, U.S.

/eɪˈældərmənʃɪp/,

/ˈældərmənʃɪp/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; originally modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: ealdorman n., -ship suffix.

Etymology: < ealdorman n. + -ship suffix, originally after German Ealdormanschaft (1834 in the passage translated in quot. 1845). Compare earlier aldermanship n. and also ealdordom n. 1b.The rare Old English ealdordōmscipe , in the same sense (see the variant reading in quot. lOE at ealdordom n. 1b), has been taken as an error for an otherwise unattested *ealdormannscipe (it would also be possible to take it as an error for ealdorscipe aldership n., although the word is not attested in this sense); however, it may rather show a genuine formation < ealdordom n. + -ship suffix, after aldership n.
