A craving is a strong, often sudden desire for something, especially food or a certain experience.
From the verb “crave,” with the noun-forming “-ing.” It keeps the older sense of a demand-like desire.
Cravings can be physical, emotional, or even social—sometimes you’re not just craving sugar, you’re craving comfort or control. Recognizing what a craving is really pointing at can be more powerful than simply resisting it.
