What does LUST mean in Scrabble?
noun
An intense feeling of desire, most often sexual desire, or a strong craving for power, money, or another goal.
Lust describes desire pushed past ordinary wanting into something urgent and hard to resist; the oldest sense of lust is sexual, but English also speaks of a lust for power, a lust for gold, or a lust for revenge. The word carries a stronger, less controlled charge than simple desire or preference, and it is often used with a note of moral caution.
