'Tis absolutely a word, dear Dobbin. I wouldn't possibly make this up. "Godship" is a word, correct? As is the forementioned. Given, people don't use it that much, but then English speaking nations rarely speak of goddesses unless they're really bad movie critics giving a review of "Coyote Ugly".
Trust me on this. I'm a veritable cesspool of fermenting, worthless scraps of knowledge.

P.S. Is this off-kilter thread at all justified by the presence of "Coyote Ugly"? Which, by the way, I have to say was one of the most genius scams of the year...marketing a PG-13 girl-power chick flick as a sexy romp for young red-blooded males. Brilliant.
: : Goddessship, of course. Was there ever any doubt in your mind?
: While that may be a lovely concept, it ain't a real word. Neither is "chuck-a-licious," or "Hanna-Barbara-esque", which does not prevent me from using them in everyday conversation.
: But in the strictest sense of the word "word", "Goddessship" is not a word.
