It is implausible that it derives from wishful, the required sound change being wishful \u2192 wisful \u2192 wistful, which could not occur in Modern English, particularly not with wishful continuing in use. However, the sense of \u201clonging\u201d appears to be influenced by wishful, with wistful being an ambiguous poetic word.1"
