Webster's 1828 Dictionary

CUPIDITY

n.[L., to desire, to covet. ] An eager desire to possess something; an ardent wishing or longing; inordinate or unlawful desire of wealth or power. It is not used, I believe, for the animal appetite, like lust or concupiscence, but for desire of the mind. No property is secure when it becomes large enough to tempt the cupidity of indigent power.
