/Desert,/ an arid region, and /desert,/ abandon, come from the same 
word. Most dialects of English have a feature called 
initial-stress-derived nouns, where a verb which is stressed in the last 
syllable turns into a noun by moving the stress to the first syllable. 
There are nearly two hundred of these noun-verb pairs in English, and 
more are gradually being created. They are often derived from Latin, 
where the word begins with a Latin preposition.

/Desert/ is one of these. The /de-/ originally derives from a Latin 
element meaning "undo,"//and the rest comes from /serere, /"join 
together." A desert is literally — if not realistically — a place that 
is barren, abandoned. https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=desert

/Dessert,/ comes from French, where the Latin /de-/ prefix had become 
/des-,/ still meaning "undo." The rest comes from /servir/ "to serve," 
and the Old French /desservir/ meant "undo-serve," or "clear the table." 
The French noun /dessert/ came to mean "last course (of a meal)," and 
English took the word and gave it a more specific connotation.

So... *QIpbe' DIvI' Hol. qunDaj Daghojchugh, mISHa'choH mu'meyDaj 
chutmeyDaj je.*
