Yearn for years (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

long

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'years' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for long that I've seen before include "Really want" , "Sustained" , "summer break?" , "bought in advance" , "hunger" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
