Last thing left in Pandora's box (4)

I believe the answer is:

hope

(Other definitions for hope that I've seen before include "Cherish a desire" , "It alone stayed in Pandora's box" , "Optimism - English-born US comedian" , "virtue he needs?" , "Feeling of optimism" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
