Etymology

The French noun **désert** comes from Latin *desertum* (the past participle of *deserere*, “to abandon”), which was used for an abandoned or desolate place. It entered Old French as *desert* meaning “abandoned land”, and over time the sense broadened to describe anything barren, harsh, or exceedingly difficult, giving the modern figurative use “impossible or very difficult.”
