According to scholars such as Döderlein, the difference between cupīdō and cupiditās is that cupīdō is seen as active desire, whereas cupiditās is more of a passive desire of passion that befalls someone as a state of mind. Cupīdō consists of especially desire for possessions, money or power. Cupiditās is used as desire for goods of any kind.
