Appetent

Appetent: Having a strong desire. Appetent shares its etymology with appetite.
These distortions masquerade under various mythic guises, of which two follow - Romance, an account of the fantasies on which the appetent and the disappointed woman is nourished, and The Object of Male Fantasy which deals with the favorite ways in which women are presented in specifically male literature.
