14世纪中期, ambicioun,“渴望荣誉或晋升的热切或过度的欲望”,源自13世纪的古法语 ambicion,或直接源自拉丁语 ambitionem(主格 ambitio)“绕行”,尤指拉票,因此“争取好感,讨好,阿谀奉承; 渴望荣誉,渴望受欢迎”,是过去分词词干 ambire 的行动名词,源自 amb- “周围”(源自 PIE 词根 *ambhi- “周围”)和 ire “走”(源自 PIE 词根 *ei- “走”)。
在英语或拉丁语中很少使用字面意义。在早期的使用中,英语总是带有贬义,表示过度或过分的欲望; ambition 与 pride 和 vainglory 一起使用,有时仅表示“傲慢自大”。中性或积极的意义是现代的。 “强烈渴望的对象”的含义始于大约1600年。
