会長職
解説 Definition
chairman や chair としての地位、職務、または在任期間を意味します。企業、協会、委員会などで会議や組織運営を主導する立場を指しますが、必ずしも組織全体の最高責任者とは限りません。
Chairmanship is the position or role of being the chairperson of a committee, organization, or meeting. It can also mean the period of time during which someone has that leading role. The word is common in business, politics, and other formal groups.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず chair を「椅子」だけでなく「会議を仕切る席・役」として覚えるとつながります。chairman / chairperson がその席に座る人、-ship は leadership と同じく「地位・役目・在任」を表すので、chairmanship は「議長・会長としての立場や職務」。the chairmanship of the committee, hold/assume the chairmanship の形で見ておくと定着しやすいです。chairman は人、chairmanship は役職そのもの、という区別も重要です。
Think of `chair` as more than furniture: in meetings, the `chair` is the leading seat or role. `-ship` often means a position or period in a role, like in `leadership`. So `chairmanship` is the role itself, not the person.

chairmanship の語源・成り立ち Etymology
chairmanshipは chair + man + -ship で、chair はギリシャ語を経たラテン語 cathedra「座席」が源です。議長席に座る人が chairman、その役目が chairmanship だと見ると「会長職」の意味がほどけます。関連語 chair も同根です。
Chairmanship is built from chairman plus the suffix -ship, which shows a role, state, or office. Chair in this sense goes back through Latin cathedra, meaning "seat" or "chair," and a chairman was originally the person in the chair at a meeting. From that, chairmanship came to mean the position or duties of that person. Related words include chair and chairperson.
