cupidity
金銭欲、欲望、欲求。
Did the third tradition, the tradition of liberalism
based on responsibility rather than cupidity, also
survive?
第三の伝統、即ち、欲求よりも責任に基礎を置く
リベラリズムの伝統は、尚も存続し得たのだろうか。
ラテン語起源で、神話の「キューピッド」や
教会用語「色欲、肉欲 (concupiscence)」と同系。
もともとのラテン語動詞「欲する」は -- cupere
cupidity
[ME via F from L cupiditas from v. cupere "desire";
akin to Cupid (L Cupido ) & concupiscence
(L concupiscentia )]
avarice; greed.
