| Feb 2, 2011 at 16:03 | comment | added | ghoppe | @Jasper Great point. Here I've always thought the derivation of the word was the same as dessert but evidently that word comes from the French desservir "to clear the table" whereas desert in the sense of punishment/reward comes from Old French deservir "to deserve" | |
