The Chinese word "得陇望蜀" is formed by sequentially combining four characters: "得" meaning to capture or obtain, "陇" referring to the Long region in ancient China, "望" meaning to look at or covet, and "蜀" referring to the Shu region, directly derived from a historical account where after capturing Long, a general was ordered to advance on Shu, thus creating a compound that denotes insatiable desire by linking the acquisition of one territory to the immediate craving for another.
