Why this word is great
CITIZENSHIP — [Noun] The legal status of being a recognized member of a sovereign state, with attendant rights and duties. From citizen (from Middle English citezein, from Anglo-French citeain, based on Latin civitas "citizenship, city") + -ship (a noun-forming suffix denoting state or condition). Unlike "nationality" (a passive fact of origin) or "residency" (a mere fact of habitation), citizenship is an active, legal covenant between individual and polity. It is the heft of a passport in a breast pocket, the precise mark of an "X" in a polling booth, the quiet weight of a jury summons on a hall table—a daily contract that builds a "we" from a collection of "I"s.
