Its root in the classical dictionaries

العبودية: إظهار التذلل، والعبادة أبلغ منها، لأنها غاية التذلل، ولا يستحقها إلا من له غاية الإفضال، وهو الله تعالى، ولهذا قال: ألا تعبدوا إلا إياه

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿إياك نعبد﴾ [الفاتحة: 5] أي نذل ونخضع. والعبودية: إظهار التذلل، والعبادة أبلغ لأنها غاية التذلل. ولا تليق إلا بمن له غاية الإفضال كالباري تعالى.
