desitjar

Catalan

Etymology

From the noun desig; cf. Latin dēsīderō, dēsīderāre (long for, desire, feel the want of, miss, regret). Possibly corresponds to a Vulgar Latin verb *dēsidiāre, itself perhaps a crossing between Latin dēsīderāre and invidiāre, from invidia. Compare Occitan desirar and Portuguese desejar, Spanish desear.
