An externship is a short job a university student does to see what a kind of work is really like. You leave the school for a while — that is the “extern” part, meaning outside — and you spend a short time with a company, a hospital, a law office, or a similar place. It is usually not paid, and it usually lasts only a short time, sometimes just days or a few weeks. Though actually, people mix this up with internship all the time, and in a lot of everyday talk they are treated as the same thing. An internship is the more common word: it often lasts longer, you do more real work, and you may get paid. An externship is more like a short look at the job, and you may spend a lot of time watching and learning rather than running the work yourself. In the United States, law and medical schools use externship a lot; in many other places, people just say internship for both. You will not hear this word much in casual chat.
短期校外實習、見習（比一般說的「實習」更短，多半沒薪水）
組成extern (outside, from external) + -ship (a position or period in that role), on the same pattern as internship.
