DESIDERATE Meaning and Definition

  1. Desiderate is a verb that means to long for or desire something fervently. It is derived from the Latin word "desideratus," which means "desired" or "longed for." This term is often used to express a strong yearning or wish for a particular outcome or object.

    When one desiderates something, they experience a deep longing or craving for it, often accompanied by a sense of incompleteness or dissatisfaction in its absence. This desire may be fueled by a variety of factors, such as personal preferences, unfulfilled needs, or the belief that the desired thing possesses qualities or benefits that would greatly improve one's life or situation.

    The act of desiderating is an active expression of one's desires or aspirations. It implies a strong sense of yearning, and it may involve dedicating time, effort, or resources towards attaining the desired goal or acquiring the desired object.

    While desiderate is primarily used in a personal context, it can also be applied to broader societal or cultural desires. For example, one might desiderate peace, justice, or equality for all. In these cases, the term reflects a collective longing shared by a group or community.

    Overall, desiderate denotes a deep, heartfelt longing or intense desire for something, whether it be a person, object, outcome, or state of being.
