Desert

Desert = a large area of land, where there is usually nothing but sand (arid land with little or no vegetation): ‘The Sahara is the world’s largest hot desert’

Deserted = (i) empty and quiet, especially because the people who are usually there have all left: ‘At night, the city streets are deserted.’(ii) Leave or abandon (a person, place, etc.) without intending to return: ‘He deserted his wife.’
