DESIDERATUM

Sunday Express Crossword, 7th June.
It just so happens that I did this crossword.
Next time could you put in your question which Crossword Puzzle you are looking at, and how many letters, also if you already have any letters in the word. Not criticising, but this would help other people to give you an answer who don't have the Puzzle to hand. Good Luck.
