'Covet' is commonly used as a transitiveverb, which means that it is usually followed by a direct object, 'something' that is represented by a noun or pronoun.
As a transitive verb, its action is dependent on the presence of an object to 'act upon'.
To covet is to want 'something' very much, particularly something which another person has.
"The chauffeur coveted / his employer's wealth/."
(the direct object of his covetousness was 'his employer's wealth'.)
"Sarah was always jealous of her sister's popularity. She became obsessed with it. She coveted it (direct object) night and day."
'Covet' can be used as an intransitive verb, ("She covets.") but when it is is used with an object, the construction is verb + object, NOT verb + 'for' + object.
Synonyms:
To covet is to 'long for' or 'yearn for' something, but with 'covet' this desire is so strong that it is often for something we have no right to possess or enjoy.
Construction: Notice that 'to long' and 'to yearn' are used with 'for'.
"He longed for the day (object) when he would retire."
