verb/deseˈaɾ/
to wish; to desire, to want, to hope for, to long for; to look forward to
“Cumpleaños Feliz! Cumpleaños Feliz! Te deseamos todos. Cumpleaños Feliz!” — Happy birthday (to you)! Happy birthday (to you)! We all wish you a happy birthday!
From the noun deseo; 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 Portuguese desejar, Catalan desitjar.
