desideratum ("dih-sid-eh-RA-tum") n.
origin: from the Latin "desiderare", meaning "to desire"
1. Something considered necessary or highly desirable.
"Immense wealth, and its lavish expenditure, fill the great house
with all that can please the eye, or tempt the taste. Here, appetite,
not food, is the great desideratum."
--Frederick Douglass, "My Bondage, My Freedom"
