Concupiscence refers to a strong desire or lust, particularly in relation to sexual appetites. It can also imply an intense yearning for something, often seen in a moral or spiritual context as a temptation or inclination toward sin. The term is derived from Latin, where it means ‘to long for’ or ‘to desire eagerly.’ In religious contexts, concupiscence may refer to the tendency of human beings to be drawn toward sinful thoughts or actions.
