codicia

greed
💰 codicia sounds like code-ish-ya: the 'code' of 'I want it all, ya!'
Latin cupiditia (from cupere, to desire) became codicia in Spanish. Link the opening 'cod-' to 'covet', which comes from the same desire-root idea: wanting more than your share. Covet and codicia both name excessive wanting.
