Etymology: Originally < lord n. + -ship suffix.In use with reference to an order of angels (see sense 1b) after classical Latin dominātiō, used in post-classical Latin as the title of one particular order (Vulgate: see domination n.). For discussion of the second element of the form lauerdscape see housewifeship n. The β. forms show assimilatory loss of /d/. The forms lordesship and lordesshipp at γ. forms may reflect a variant of the second element with initial ssh- , or perhaps the use of the genitive in the first element (compare lordisdome at lord-dom n. β. forms). 1. society > authority > [noun] > chief authority or dominion society > authority > rule or government > ruler or governor > lord > [noun] > position of eOE King Ælfred tr.
