  Lengthy hopes and preferring the immediate over the later.

  وَإِيثَارُ — and preferring. Two pieces: wa- ('and') adds another item, and the noun is the verbal noun for 'preferring', the naming of an act. It heads a possessive pairing with the next word, linking to 'the immediate' to mean 'preferring of the immediate'.
