    [Verb]  | "de*sert" | \ di-ˈzərt \


    1: to withdraw from or leave usually without intent to return

    2: to leave in the lurch

    3: to abandon (military service) without leave


    Origin: 1603 ;

     Borrowed from French déserter, going back to Old French, "to devastate, make uninhabited, abandon, leave," borrowed from Late Latin dēsertāre "to leave, abandon," frequentative of Latin dēserere "to part company with, abandon, leave uninhabited, leave in the lurch," from dē- {see: |de-|de-} + serere "to link together, join in a series" {mat|series|};

      * Note : Note that Dictionnaire du Moyen Français divides deserter into two lemmas, assigning the senses "devastate, make uninhabited" to a derivative of desert "barren, uninhabited" (see: {desert:2|desert:2}) and the senses "abandon, leave" to a loan from Late Latin dēsertāre.;
