Its root in the classical dictionaries

الطمع: نزوع النفس إلى الشيء شهوة له، طمعت أطمع طمعا وطماعية، فهو طمع وطامع.

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿لم يدخلوها وهم يطمعون﴾ [الأعراف: 46]. الطمع: نزوع الشيء إلى الشيء شهوة له. وطمع في كذا طمعا وطماعية فهو طامع وطمع. ولما كان أكثر الطمع من جهة الهوى قيل: الطمع طبع ثان. والطمع يدنس الإهاب. وقولهم: الطمع ذل، يعنون أن الطامع في معروف رجل يذل له. ومن ثم قيل: اليأس غنى.
