Intense craving (4)

I believe the answer is:

lust

'intense craving' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lust that I've seen before include "Deadly sin of extreme passion" , "One of the seven deadly sins" , "Passionate desire" , "Lecherousness" , "Depraved desire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the Newsday and The New York Times.
