__-for; desired

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hoped

'for desired' is the definition.
('hope' can be a synonym of 'desire')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for hoped that I've seen before include "Aspired" , "Expected and wished" , "Desired with the expectation of success" , "Desired, with optimism" , "and 25: Anticipated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
