[Sepe]cupidity \kjuːˈpɪdəti\
- ngûên
- The conqueror’s cupidity created economic problems in the kingdom.
- Humanity had always been fascinated by the mystery of the falling dice, the turn of a card, the spin of the pointer. At its lowest level, this interest was based on mere cupidity—and that was an emotion that could have no place in a world where everyone possessed all that they could reasonably need. — (Arthur C. Clarke, The City and the Stars , 1956, lêmbëtï 37)
