(G5906) Synonyms for Desire, Lust: epithymia (ἐπιθυμία G1939), pathos (πάθος G3806), orme (ὁρμή G3730), orexis (ὄρεξις G3715).

(ἐπιθυμία G1939) epithymia is the broadest of these words. Its meaning may be good, but it is usually bad. It denotes any natural desire or appetite, usually with the implication that it is a depraved desire. pathos has not as broad a meaning as in classical Greek, but denotes evil desire, chiefly, however, as a condition of the soul rather than in active operation. orme indicates hostile motion toward an object, either for seizing or repelling. orexis is a desire or appetite, especially seeking the object of gratification in order to make it one's own.
