Desire wrongly (5)

I believe the answer is:

covet

(Other definitions for covet that I've seen before include "Desire eagerly" , "Long enviously (to have something)" , "Crave something belonging to someone else" , "Want something belonging to another" , "Long to have (something belonging to another)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
