Word that means desired attributes

Something like deserdia but google turns up nothing, means list of desired characteristics.


Solution 1:

I think you mean desiderata, singular desideratum:

something desired as essential

(Merriam-Webster)

Solution 2:

Desiderata, Latin for "desired things", and the title of a famous poem that begins "Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence..."

n .pl Desiderata (sing. Desideratum):

  • Something considered necessary or highly desirable:

"The point is not that the artist has 'penetrated the character' of his sitter, that commonplace desideratum of portraiture" (Robert Hughes).
