covet: [13] Covetousness and cupidity are very closely related, etymologically as well as semantically. Covet comes via Old French coveitier from Vulgar Latin *cupiditāre, a verb derived from the Latin noun cupiditās (from which English gets cupidity). Its ultimate source is the Latin verb cupere ‘desire’.
=> cupidity - covet (v.)
- mid-13c., from Old French coveitier "covet, desire, lust after" (12c., Modern French convoiter, influenced by con- words), probably ultimately from Latin cupiditas "passionate desire, eagerness, ambition," from cupidus "very desirous," from cupere "long for, desire" (see cupidity). Related: Coveted; coveting.
