Italian word
desiderare
to desire, to wish, to want (politely)
Looks like
to desire
to want something strongly
⚠️ The trap
Good match, but in Italian 'desiderare' is used politely in service contexts: 'Cosa desidera?' = 'What would you like?' — much more formal/courteous than the English 'desire', which sounds rather literary.
To say "to want something strongly" in Italian:
desiderare
"desiderare" in English means:
to desire, to wish, to want (politely)
Example
"Cosa desidera? (to a customer)"
"What would you like? (to a customer)"
