'ambassadorship' originates from the word 'ambassador', which comes from the Old French 'ambassadeur', derived from the Latin 'ambactus', meaning 'servant'.

'ambassadeur' transformed into the English word 'ambassador', and eventually the term 'ambassadorship' was coined to describe the position or duties of an ambassador.

Initially, it meant 'the role of a servant or envoy', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the position or duties of an ambassador'.
