Had an intense longing (for) (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yearned

(Other definitions for yearned that I've seen before include "Deanery (anag)" , "Desired - longed (for)" , "Did long" , "Longed to be in deanery" , "Desired strongly and persistently" .)

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