n.
mid-14c., from Latin concupiscentia “eager desire,” from concupiscens, present participle of concupiscere, inceptive of concupere “to be very desirous of,” from com-, intensive prefix (see com-), + cupere “to long for” (see cupidity). Used in Vulgate to translate Greek epithymia.
desire, Rom. 7:8 (R.V., “coveting”); Col. 3:5 (R.V., “desire”). The “lust of concupiscence” (1 Thess. 4:5; R.V., “passion of lust”) denotes evil desire, indwelling sin.
