Desire shown in Barrow is hot (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wish

'desire' is the definition.
(I know this)

'in barrow is hot' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'WISH' can be found hidden inside 'barrow is hot'.

'shown' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for wish that I've seen before include "prayer" , "bid" , "Want (to do something)" , "Desire, hope" , "Request - yen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
