Word from the Latin for "wish for" (3)
I believe the answer is:
opt
'word from the latin for wish for' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for opt that I've seen before include "Prefer, choose" , "End or act of shutting" , "Have preference for something" , "Choose from pot" , "Hold in the highest esteem" .)
