Etymology and usage of "voivodship"

The Polish term województwo, designating a second-level Polish or Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth administrative unit, derives from "wojewoda" (etymologically, "war leader," but now used only for the governor of a województwo) and the suffix "-ztwo (a "state or condition"). Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ... A governor is also a device that regulates the speed of a machine. ...

As a second-level administrative unit, województwo is often rendered in English as "province," the term that is used for such units in most countries of the world. This article is about political regions. ...

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word voivodship appeared in English for the first time in 1792, spelled woiwodship, in the sense of "the district or province governed by a voivode." The word subsequently also appeared, for the first time in 1886, in the sense of "the office or dignity of a voivode." The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is a comprehensive dictionary published by the Oxford University Press (OUP). ... 1792 was a leap year starting on Sunday (see link for calendar). ... 1886 is a common year starting on Friday (click on link to calendar) // Events January 18 - Modern field hockey is born with the formation of The Hockey Association in England. ...

The presence of a word in the Oxford English Dictionary attests to nothing but the word's use on at least one occasion in the history of the English language.

The English word "voivodship," which is a hybrid of voivode and -ship (a suffix likewise meaning a "state or condition") that replicates those two elements found in the Polish original, has never been much used in English. The 2,478-page Random House Dictionary of the English Language, second edition, unabridged (1987), while including "voivode," does not even list or otherwise refer to "voivodship." A word that has one part derived from one language and another part derived from a different language is etymologically called hybrid. ...

Of Polish-English, English-Polish dictionaries, Jan Stanisławski's Great Polish-English Dictionary, 5th edition (1977), translates województwo as "province" or the "office" of a wojewoda. The English-to-Polish volume includes "voivode" but does not even list "voivodship." Jan StanisÅ‚awski (1893–1973) was a Polish lexicographer. ...

Similarly the Kościuszko Foundation Dictionary translates województwo as "province" or "the administration" of such — not as "voivodship." The English-to-Polish volume lists neither "voivode" nor "voivodship." In the latter volume, wojewoda appears as one of three synonyms for the English word, "governor."

In light of the foregoing, some have questioned the appropriateness of "voivodship," rather than "province," as the English equivalent of województwo; and of "voivode," rather than "governor," as the equivalent of wojewoda. Dynamic equivalence and formal equivalence are two approaches to translation. ...
