Dic: want for nothing, want for something



want for something (slightly formal): to lack something that you need.

  • We didn't have much, but we never wanted for food. 
  • I certainly don't want for advice. In fact, I have had too much. 
  • We don't want for helpers around here.


want for nothing: Fig. not to lack anything; to have everything one needs or desires.
  • The Smiths don't have much money, but their children seem to want for nothing. 
  • Lisa's husband spoils her. She wants for nothing.
