/ˈɔːθəʃɪp//ˈɔːθərʃɪp/

The word "authorship" originated in the 14th century from the Old French term "auctoreschep," which is derived from the Latin words "auctor," meaning "author" or "originator," and "scire," meaning "to know" or "to possess knowledge." In Latin, the phrase "auctoritas" referred to the authority or expertise of an author, which later evolved into the English word "authorship." Initially, the term referred to the act of writing or creating a work, but over time, it came to imply the ownership and responsibility of a writer for their creation. Today, authorship is used to describe the act of creating a written work, as well as the rights and claims to ownership that come with it.
