Something wanted (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

desideratum

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">something wanted</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for desideratum that I've seen before include "Essential" , "Something needed or wanted" , "Something much wanted" , "Something much needed" , "As requirement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
