The term 'subservient' describes a person or attitude that is excessively willing to obey or serve someone else. It implies a submissiveness and a readiness to be controlled or dominated by others, often perceived as lacking autonomy or self-respect. Typically used to describe relationships where there is a significant imbalance of power.
