I came across the word “avarice” while reading and wasn’t sure what it meant. Can someone explain its definition and how it’s used?
 
Avarice means extreme greed for money or wealth. It describes a strong desire to gain and keep more than one needs.

Example:
“His avarice led him to value money over relationships.”
 
Avarice refers to — huge greediness to get rich or material possession, which in many cases causes one to make money a priority above moral and relationships.
