Rapacity
Etymology
From Latin rapacitas, "greediness," from rapax, "grasping, given to seizing," which comes from rapere, "to seize, snatch, carry off." That violent root also gives us "rapture," "ravish," and "raptor." Rapacity keeps the predator’s edge: it is greed with talons.
noun · /ruh-PAS-ih-tee/
Aggressive, predatory greed — the drive to seize and take, often by force or plunder.
What it names
The grasping vice that does not merely hoard but grabs, stripping others of what is theirs to feed its own hunger.
Example
The empire’s rapacity was written into its ledgers — whole forests and fisheries emptied within a generation.
Related idea
Avarice hoards what it has; rapacity reaches out to seize what belongs to others. One is the miser’s vice, the other the plunderer’s.
