International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
LUCRE

lu'-ker, loo'-ker (betsa'>; kerdos): Literally, "gain" (1 Samuel 8:3 Titus 1:7), hence, in the New Testament always qualified by "filthy" (1 Timothy 3:8, "not greedy of filthy lucre" aischrokerdes; so Titus 1:7). The adverb is found in 1 Peter 5:2 (see also Titus 1:11). In 1 Timothy 3:3, the Revised Version (British and American) changes the King James Version to "no lover of money" (aphilarguros).

Easton's Bible Dictionary
From the Lat. lucrum, "gain." 1 Timothy 3:3, "not given to filthy lucre." Some MSS. have not the word so rendered, and the expression has been omitted in the Revised Version.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
(n.) Gain in money or goods; profit; riches; -- often in an ill sense.
Strong's Hebrew
1215. betsa -- gain made by violence, unjust gain, profit
... covetousness, dishonest gain, lucre, profit. From batsa'; plunder; by extension,
gain (usually unjust) -- covetousness, (dishonest) gain, lucre, profit. ...
