From Pathfinder Wiki
The English word ‘worship’ has its origins in the Old English / West Saxon languages of about the 12th century AD. It was originally the noun ‘worth-ship’ which was comprised of the adjective ‘worth’ and the suffix ‘ship’ denoting a state or condition – the condition of being ‘worthy’, ‘of renown’ or ‘of honour’. Over time, this meaning changed somewhat to refer to ‘respect’ and ‘reverence’. In about 1300, it was used to describe ‘reverence paid to a supernatural or divine being’.Sources: Word Origins and Etym Online.
