To Wish
To Request, To Hope, To Seek
する verb, transitive verb
You know that 希望 is a "wish." When you "do a wish," that means to wish, to request or to hope.
This is a formal way to say that you wish for something, so you might use it at work to request an opportunity to work abroad, or let them know politely that you're resigning.
The reading comes from 希望. It's also the on'yomi jukugo reading as well, if that helps any.
