Covetousness
Etymology
From "covet," via Old French "coveitier," ultimately from Latin "cupiditas" / "cupere" (to desire). It kept the sharper edge of desire directed at what is not yours to have.
noun · /KUV-uh-tus-nis/
An inordinate desire to possess what belongs to someone else.
What it names
Names wanting aimed at a specific thing in another’s hands — the sin the Tenth Commandment singles out.
Example
His covetousness centered on one thing: the corner office his mentor had, and would not vacate.
Related idea
Envy is pained that another has the thing; covetousness simply wants to have it too. Envy would rather the other lose it; covetousness only wants to gain it.
