Aim (to do something) (6)

I believe the answer is:

aspire

(Other definitions for aspire that I've seen before include "Seek (to do something)" , "Have ambitious plans for" , "Direct one's hopes and ambitions" , "Have a strong desire to achieve something" , "Have lofty aims" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
