yen
Ache for something
Yen is a longing or craving, an urge to do or have something: I have a yen for Chinese food, She felt a sudden yen to travel.
The word suggests a persistent but not desperate desire.
Separately, yen is the basic monetary unit of Japan, divided into 100 sen.
The currency sense appears constantly in financial contexts: The yen weakened against the dollar.
