Eager desire to know (9)

I believe the answer is:

curiosity

(Other definitions for curiosity that I've seen before include "Something unusual (that killed the cat?)" , "That's a strange thing" , "Killer of cat" , "Proverbially, it killed the cat" , "25 28 [MARS LANDER]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
