masterhood
State of expertise
Masterhood is the state or condition of being a master—having achieved expertise, authority, or control in some domain.
The word parallels similar abstractions like fatherhood or priesthood, denoting both the status and the qualities associated with it: His years of practice finally brought him to masterhood.
The term is uncommon, with mastery generally preferred for skill and expertise.
