What crave means

To have a strong, persistent desire for something, whether food, a substance, or an emotional need.

Where the word comes from

From Old English *crafian*, meaning to ask or demand. The word likely comes from Old Norse *krefja*, which meant to demand or require. Both trace back to Proto-Germanic roots related to strength and vigor—the idea of pushing hard for something you want. By the Middle English period, *crave* had developed its modern sense of intense desire or longing.
