As a spanish speaker, I always associated it in my native language as a desire to be with and to value someone else with love.

We do indeed worship God/Jesus out of love with total reverence (honor/glory) recognizing Him as our creator ... this is what sets Him above (apart from) any other claimed "god(s)" or anything else in the universe.
Romans 1:25
New Living Translation
They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.
Revelation 14:7
King James Bible
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
the word creator (above referenced verse) in the Greek is this:
Strongs
ktizó: to build, create
Original Word: κτίζω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: ktizó
Phonetic Spelling: (ktid'-zo)
Definition: to build, create
Usage: I create, form, shape, make, always of God.
HELPS Word-studies
2936 ktízō – properly, create, which applies only to God who alone can make what was "not there before" (Latin, ex nihilo, out of nothing, J.Thayer); figuratively to begin ("found"), especially what is habitable or useful.
In the end ... it does come down to who one worships .... Elohim ... who is our creator and who alone is worthy to be worshipped ... or something/somebody else.
The 7 day creation account in Genesis is very important ... if anyone dismisses it they are dismissing God as the creator of everything.
Interestingly .... this includes the 7th day Sabbath as it was/is a day God created for man ... part of His creation. His "seal/signature" of creation. No one can re-create this day ... it can be attempted to be replaced ... but no one can change the day God created.
So .... a rhetorical question ... if one worships on the 1st day of the week (sunday) are they giving reverence (honor/glory) to God/Jesus as the creator (or giving honor/glory to someone/something God did not create)? Something to think about.
Exodus 20:8 (pointing back to His created day)
New King James Version
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Matthew 12:8 (Jesus speaking)
Berean Study Bible
For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” (creator of the 7th day)
Above Jesus identifies Himself as the creator by referencing the 7th day Sabbath only HE created.
This is interesting because in finnish calendar we have sunday placed as 7th day. Monday is the first day.
Yes, the 7th day is Saturday --the end of the week, and it spoke to Israel as remembering God's works of creation. The Lord Jesus is the fulfilment NOW of God's blessings, as in TYPE in the Old Testament; and God gives us "...on the First day of the week" the day of remembrance and worship in His "...beloved Son" (whom Israel rejected). Let us praise and worship the Lord Jesus on the Lord's Day ---our so-called Sunday.
