appetency
Intense natural longing
Appetency is a strong natural craving or desire, especially an instinctive inclination toward something: an appetency for power, the appetency of plants toward light.
The word is formal and somewhat archaic, appearing mostly in philosophical or scientific contexts where it describes inherent tendencies or drives rather than conscious wants.
