"dessert" meaning in English

See dessert in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /dɪˈzɜːt/ [UK], /dɪˈzɝt/ [US] Audio: en-us-dessert.ogg [US] Forms: desserts [plural]
enPR: dĭ-zûrt Rhymes: -ɜː(ɹ)t Etymology: Borrowed from Middle French dessert, from desservir (“disserve”), from dés- (“dis-”) and servir (“serve”), thus literally meaning “removal of what has been served”. Note: It was erroneously suggested (e.g. in "Glucose syrups: Technology and Applications" (Peter Hull, 2010)) that the word is derived from the name of Benjamin Delessert, the inventor of beet sugar. However, the term predates him by at least a century.

However, the term predates him by at least a century.",
