词组 desideratum
释义 desideratum
      The plural of this borrowing from Latin is desiderata. Evans 1957 says desideratums may also be used, but we have no record of its use in our files.
      The use of desiderata as a singular is quite rare—we have no unequivocal example since 1927. Its development as a singular has probably been stunted by the flourishing condition of the singular desideratum. See the list at Latin plurals for other borrowings whose plurals may or may not present problems.
      ... in a civilization where intellect is a minor desideratum —Norman Sheresky & Marya Mannes, Cosmopolitan, November 1972
      The other desideratum is a pitcher with good control —Roger Angell, New Yorker, 12 Mar. 1984
      Sense and intelligence are desiderata of drama — George Jean Nathan, The Theatre Book of the Year, 1946-1947
      Such knowledge and attitudes may not be just desiderata—they may be imperatives —Edwin O. Reis-chauer, Saturday Rev., 29 May 1976
