Wish for a steeple (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aspire

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

'a steeple' is the wordplay.
'steeple' becomes 'spire' (synonyms).
'a'+'spire'='ASPIRE'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aspire that I've seen before include "Desire (to reach higher things)" , "Earnestly desire (to achieve something)" , "Aim at, work towards" , "Have hopes (to achieve something)" , "Wish to rise (to)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
