Longing or wish (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

desire

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'longing' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'wish' is the second definition.
(I know that wish is a more specific form of desire)

(Other definitions for desire that I've seen before include "Strong wish" , "Reside in longing" , "Strong need" , "Hanker after" , "Famous play: ''A Streetcar Named ......''" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
