Wish or long for (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

desire

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'long for' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for desire that I've seen before include "Concupiscence" , "Covet" , "Crave" , "Want strongly" , "Famous play: ''A Streetcar Named ......''" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
