FIL: Ang paghahangad o pagkagusto sa isang bagay.
EN: to want; to desire
Same as the noun, this is the formal way of saying you want something. 'Nais kong ipaalam sa lahat...' is the formal start of an announcement, not 'Gusto kong sabihin sa inyo...' It's the verb you use when you're in a meeting with the CEO, not when you're ordering from a food stall.
As a verb, it is often followed by a verb in the infinitive form (e.g., 'nais kong kumain'). It is a stative verb, similar to 'gusto'.
