There are good reasons why desert and dessert are two of the most frequently confused words in English. First, the only visual difference between them is the extra "s." Desert has three meanings and two pronunciations , while dessert has just one pronunciation and a single meaning that we all know and love.

How to Use 'Desert'

The noun desert (with stress on the first syllable ) refers to a dry, sandy region or any wasteland. The verb desert (stress on the second syllable) means to abandon or leave. Also, when people get what they deserve, they are said to have received their just deserts , again with the second syllable stressed but pronounced like desserts .

The first meaning, as an arid land, came to Middle English from an Old French and Latin term, desertum, meaning just that: a desert. The sense meaning to abandon came from deserter , an Old French word that came from the Latin deserere, meaning to "disjoin." The final meaning came from deserte , a Middle English and Old French word meaning deserve .

How to Use 'Dessert'

A dessert  (stress on the second syllable) is a sweet dish served at the end of a meal. The word comes from desservir , a Middle English and Old French word meaning "to clear the table," which is what happens after you finish that final course.

• The man spent weeks lost in the desert , where his access to water was limited. Here desert is a noun meaning an arid land.
• Soldiers who desert their posts during wartime can be court-martialed because they have broken military law. In this example, desert is a verb meaning to abandon or leave.
• In fairy tales, the villains always receive their just deserts . This usage employs deserts as meaning what they deserve.
• After dinner, I set the table with desser t plates and sliced the blueberry pie for a sweet finale.  This sentence uses desserts , the sweet end-of-meal treat.

Here are some tricks for remembering the difference between the three very similar but very different words:

• The "ss" in dessert stands for "sweet stuff" or "strawberry shortcake."
• "Desserts" spelled backward is stressed , which is how some people feel after they gorge themselves on sweets.
• The Sahara, perhaps the best-known desert in the world, starts with a single "s," the same as desert.

The word for the barren desert , because the stress is on the first syllable, is rarely mistaken for the other uses of the word, in which the second syllable is stressed. The third use of desert, which is pronounced like dessert, is usually a plural and is most commonly used in the phrase "just deserts."

What is the difference between desert and dessert ?

When people read the word “ desert ,” the first image that typically comes to mind is a vast, bleak, and unbearably hot landscape. If so, the mental image represents a desert biome (noun), which are areas of land that are seemingly barren, dry, and covered with sand, gravel, or stone. 

But outside of Earthly climates, the word desert contains other meanings, as well:

• Deserts (plural noun): one’s worthiness of a punishment or reward. 
• Desert (verb): To abandon, forsake, or withdraw from one’s responsibilities. 

English speakers often confuse desert with dessert , a separate noun that means ‘ sweet treat’ or the ‘ last course of a meal .’ Depending on location, we associate dessert with delicacies such as ice cream, candy, pudding, sweetmeats, pie, fruit –– you name it . If it’s served as the last course after a large meal, it’s called dessert . 

Confusing homophones: dessert vs. desert

The words “ desert ” and “ dessert ” have very similar spellings and pronunciations, so it’s easy to see why writers mix them up. Phonetically speaking, the terms “ deserts ” (as in reward/punishment), “ desert ” (food), and “ desert ” (to abandon) use the same syllable structure of ‘di-’zerts,’ while “desert” (biome) uses ‘ˈde-zərt.’ 

The subtle differences between each “ desert ” or “ dessert ” might appear insignificant, but they affect how we pronounce each word. To illustrate, let’s take a look at their individual pronunciations: 

Deserts, pl n. (consequences):

Phonetic pronunciation:  \ di-ˈzərts  \ Sounds like: “de-zerts” or “de-serts”  *stress on the second syllable 

Dessert, n. (sweet meal):

Phonetic pronunciation: \ di-ˈzərt \ Sounds like: “da-zert” or “des-sert”  *stress on the second syllable 

Desert, v. (to abandon):

Phonetic pronunciation:  \ di-ˈzərt \ Sounds like: “da-zert” or “de-sert”  *stress on the second syllable 

Desert, n. (desert biome):

Phonetic pronunciation:   \ ˈde-zərt \ Sounds like: “de-zert” or “dez-ert”  *stress on the first syllable 

At the end of the day, the best way to understand the pronunciation of desert vs. dessert is to learn through sound. We recommend checking out Tarle Speech and Language Services’ tutorial on “ How to Pronounce Desert , Desert, Dessert ,” or TEFL and TESOL Courses’ video of “ Desert vs. Dessert .” 

How to remember desert vs. dessert ?

The easiest way to memorize the difference between desert and dessert is through mnemonics: 

• The letter s appears in the word dessert twice: “ ss ” = “You want ‘ second servings ” of the ‘ sweet stuff .’”
• The letter s appears in the word desert once: “ s ” = “ sandy ,” “ scorching ,” “ sunshine ,” or “ singular ” as in ‘isolated .’  

What does the word dessert mean?

The noun desert implies a sweet course that takes place after a large meal , such as lunch or dinner . Most people associate dessert with ice cream, pastries, fruit, or candy, but British English speakers may use “ dessert ” to mean an additional course served afterward. In this case, a dessert consists of sweetmeats, fruit, or nuts. 

Sentence examples:

“I ate strawberry shortcake for dessert .”  “Where is the dessert menu?”  “We eat dessert at the end of a meal.” 

Afters, cake, candy, confection, cookie, delicacy, delectable, fruit, goody, junket, last course, pie, pudding, sweet, sweetmeat, sweet dish, tart, treat. 

What does the word desert mean

The word desert consists of four definitions as a noun, adjective, and verb: 

Desert , n.: desert biome

We use the noun desert for barren, dry, and uninhabited regions. Arid deserts are often hot during the day and cold at night, but deserts can also be cold, semi-arid, or coastal. The main feature of all deserts is that they are dry for most of the year and contain harsh living conditions compared to other Earthly climates. 

Some of the largest deserts on Earth include:

• Antarctic Desert (Antarctica)
• Sahara Desert (Northern Africa) 
• Kalahari Desert (Southern Africa) 
• Gobi Desert (Eastern Asia)
• Patagonian Desert (Argentina)

The archaic meaning of the word desert implies ‘ a wild and uninhabited region ’ or an ‘ empty, forsaken place .’ But in a metaphorical sense, we can use the noun desert to describe a ‘wasteland’ or a place or situation that is dull or boring. A “ cultural desert ,” for example, is an “ uninteresting ” and “ underproductive ” period or area. 

“The Sonoran Desert is home to the saguaro cactus.”  “Psoriasis can make your skin dry and cracked like a desert .” “Hope is an oasis in the desert of despair.” 

Badland, barren, brush, bush, desolation, dust bowl, heath, no-man’s-land, open, wasteland.

Forest. 

Desert , adj.: wasteland

The adjective desert relates the qualities of a desert biome to a person, place, or thing. For instance, if an area is barren, dusty, solitary, or dismal, one might say, “ It’s a desert landscape .” 

“We live in a desert climate.”  “The designer is going for a desert aesthetic.” 

Arid, barren, bleak, dehydrated, desolate, doughty, dried-up, dry, lifeless, parched, rainless, sunbaked, thirsty, waterless. 

Arable, fertile, fruitful, green, lush, luxuriant, productive, rich, verdant. 

Desert , n.: ‘one’s just deserts’

The noun desert (commonly as deserts ) describes one who is ‘deserving of a reward or punishment,’ or the quality of such. 

As you might have guessed, the noun deserts is related to the verb ‘deserve ,’ which is the act of earning a reward or punishment. For instance, a person who “ gets their just deserts ” is one that ‘ got what they deserve ’ (and especially in the form of punishment).  

“I loathe the ruinous deserts of self-indulgence.”  “The attorney ensured the perpetrator received their just deserts .” 

Castigation, chastisement, comeuppance, correction, discipline, nemesis, penalty, punishment, reprisal, retaliation, retribution, revenge, wrath, vengeance. 

Acquittal, amnesty, exculpation, exemption, exoneration, forgiveness, indemnity, immunity, pardon, parole, vindication. 

Desert , v..: to abandon or withdrawl

The verb desert (also, deserted , deserting , or deserts ) means ‘ to abandon ,’ ‘forsake ,’ or ‘withdrawal’ in a disloyal manner or leave without the intention of coming back. What makes the word desert slightly different from ‘abandon’ or ‘forsake’ is that desert implies that a victim is not left helpless or in danger. 

The verb desert also implies leaving a place empty or failing someone in times of need. For instance, the phrase “leaving in the lurch” equates to ‘ deserting a friend in trouble .’ In the same token, the word desert is especially relevant to the military, where a “ deserter ” is a soldier that illegally flees their post without permission or notice. 

“Children are deserting their playgrounds in favor of video game consoles.” “Some animals desert their children.”  “The military lawyer promised to prosecute anyone who deserted their military duties.” 

Abandon, abdicate, abjure, apostatize, defect from, disown, ditch, forsake, rat-out, quit, reject, renounce, repudiate, spurn, strand, withdrawal. 

Adhere, cherish, cling, cultivate, foster, harbor, keep, possess, reclaim, reserve, retain, stick to/with. 

Etymology of desert , dessert , and ‘ one’s just deserts ’

The noun desert (biome), adjective desert (empty), and verb desert (abandon) all stem from the same Latin word: deserere (‘ to desert ’ or ‘ leave, forsake’ ). However, the verb did not enter the English Language until 1603, where its previous meaning stems from French déserter and Late Latin dēsertāre . 

The noun form of desert is technically older than the verb, as it entered the English vocabulary in the 13th century from Anglo-French and Late Latin desertum ( ‘to leave for waste’ ). As pointed out by the Online Etymology Dictionary , Late Latin’s desertum also gave rise to Italian destertus or plural deserta , where the former means “ waterless, treeless region of considerable extent .” 

The noun “ deserts ” of “ one’s just deserts ” also appeared in Middle English, but through Old French deserte (the past participle of deservir ) ‘ to deserve ’ and later, ‘ to serve well ’). To make matters more confusing, the 16th-century noun dessert (‘ sweet course’ ) is related to ‘just desserts,’ as it stems from the Old French word desservir (‘ to clear the table’ ).

Understanding Desert and Dessert: A Grammatical Perspective

Desert and dessert are two words that are commonly confused in the English language. They are homophones, which means that they sound the same but have different meanings. In this section, we will explore the differences between desert and dessert from a grammatical perspective.

Desert as a Noun

The word desert, spelled with one ‘s’, is a noun that refers to a dry and barren region with little or no vegetation. It is a place that is usually very hot and receives little rainfall. Examples of deserts include the Sahara Desert, the Mojave Desert, and the Gobi Desert.

Here are some example sentences that use desert as a noun:

• The nomads traveled across the desert in search of water.
• The Bedouin tribes have lived in the desert for centuries.

• She felt deserted by her friends after the argument.
• The town was deserted after the hurricane.

Dessert as a Noun

Dessert, spelled with two ‘s’s, is a noun that refers to a sweet dish served at the end of a meal. It is usually something that is eaten for pleasure rather than sustenance. Examples of dessert include cake, ice cream, and fruit salad.

Here are some example sentences that use dessert as a noun:

In conclusion, desert and dessert are two words that are often confused in the English language. Desert, spelled with one ‘s’, refers to a dry and barren region, while dessert, spelled with two ‘s’s, refers to a sweet dish served at the end of a meal. By understanding the differences between these words, you can avoid confusion and use them correctly in your writing.

Pronunciation and Spelling: Desert or Dessert

One of the most common spelling mistakes in the English language is confusing the words “desert” and “dessert.” Although they are pronounced similarly, they have very different meanings. In this section, we will explore the differences in pronunciation and spelling between desert and dessert.

Pronunciation

The word “desert” can be pronounced with the stress on either the first or second syllable, depending on its meaning. When it refers to a dry, sandy region or any wasteland, the stress is on the first syllable (DEH-zert). When it means to abandon or leave, the stress is on the second syllable (dih-ZERT). On the other hand, “dessert” is always pronounced with the stress on the second syllable (dih-ZERT).

The main difference between “desert” and “dessert” is the number of S’s they contain. “Desert” has only one S, while “dessert” has two. When you are writing about a dry, sandy region or any wasteland, use “desert.” When referring to a sweet dish eaten after a meal, use “dessert.”

To help you remember the difference in spelling, think of the phrase “Stressed spelled backward is desserts.” This is a fun way to remember that “dessert” has two S’s.

To further illustrate the differences between “desert” and “dessert,” here are a few examples:

• After eating a delicious meal, I always look forward to having a piece of cake for dessert.
• The Sahara is the world’s largest desert.
• When he found out he had been betrayed, he decided to desert his former friend.
• The cactus is a common plant in the desert.

In summary, “desert” and “dessert” may be pronounced similarly, but their meanings and spellings are vastly different. By keeping these differences in mind, you can avoid making the common mistake of confusing the two words.

Desert in Metaphoric and Literal Usage

The word “desert” has a variety of meanings and uses in the English language. It can refer to a barren, dry landscape with little vegetation, or it can have metaphorical meanings such as abandonment or deserving punishment. Let’s explore some of the different ways this word is used.

The phrase “just deserts” is often used to refer to someone getting what they deserve, whether it be punishment or reward. It is a play on words, as “deserts” in this context is a homophone of “desserts,” the sweet course served after a meal.

'Just Deserts' or 'Just Desserts'?

What to Know Despite its pronunciation, just deserts , with one s , is the proper spelling for the phrase meaning "the punishment that one deserves." The phrase is even older than dessert , using an older noun version of desert meaning "deserved reward or punishment," which is spelled like the arid land, but pronounced like the sweet treat.

Based on the way the second word in just deserts (“the punishment that one deserves”) is pronounced one would be forgiven for imagining that it came about in reference to some form of discipline involving custards, cookies, or petits fours. It might even make one wonder why there are not other meal-based forms of chastisement in our language; why no deserved breakfasts , no requisite lunches , no warranted teas ? Because it’s not that kind of dessert .

Maybe there are cookies being weighed on those scales?

The English language is fond of occasionally embracing its whimsical and illogical side, in order to keep things interesting for the people who attempt to use it. For instance, the most common noun form of desert (“arid land with usually sparse vegetation”) is pronounced the same way as the adjectival form of this word (“desolate and sparsely occupied or unoccupied”) play , but not the same way as the verb (“to withdraw from or leave usually without intent to return”), even though all three words come from the same source (the Latin deserere , “to desert”). The verb desert is pronounced the same way as the dessert you eat after dinner play (which comes from the Latin servir , “to serve”). And, to make things even more interesting (by which we mean confusing), there is another noun form of desert , spelled the same as the “arid land” word, but pronounced like the thing one eats after dinner, and with a meaning that is similar to neither.

History of 'Just Deserts'

Just deserts uses this, relatively uncommon, noun form of desert , which may mean “deserved reward or punishment” (usually used in plural), “the quality or fact of meriting reward or punishment,” or “excellence, worth.” This desert and dessert are etymologically related, although the former is quite a bit older; the punishment sense had already been in use for several hundred years by the time we got around to adopting the after-dinner word dessert around 1600. In fact, the use of just deserts predates that of dessert , as it came into use in the middle of the 16th century.

I haue bene yonge and am nowe olde, yet the eies in myne heade: Dyd never se the juste deserte, nor hys seede begge theyr breade. — Robert Crowley, The Psalter if David , 1549 In this warre Alexander was made Capitayne of one of the battailles, wherein his noble hert and courage did well apeare, specially when it came to the stroke of the fight, for there he acquited him self so valiauntly yt he semed not inferiour vnto his father, nor to any man els, but by moste iuste desert got the honour of the victory. — Quintus Curtius (trans. by John Brende), The history of Quintus Curcius , 1553 Unto kynges and princes we gyue due obeysaunce, by whose gouernaunce and furtheraunce they haue bin ayded, to perfurme theyr attemp|tes. we commende bothe, and for theyr iust desertes worthely extoll them. — Pietro Martire d’Anghiera, The decades of the newe worlde , 1555

In early use desert was often used in the singular, and just desert might not refer to a punishment, but to anything that was deserved. In modern use it is typically found in the plural, and just deserts almost always is in reference to a deserved punishment, rather than a reward. And remember that just deserts has nothing to do with post-prandial sweets, unless it is that the punishment that you deserve is to receive none of these things.
