Something wanted (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

desideratum

'something wanted' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for desideratum that I've seen before include "Essential" , "Something needed or wanted" , "Something much wanted" , "Something much needed" , "As requirement" .)

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