Three homonyms. Two are homographs. Two are homophones. They aren’t the same two.

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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial-stress-derived_noun

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. https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=dessert

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