Borrowed fromMiddle French dessert desservir ( “ disserve ” ) , fromdés- ( “ dis- ” ) andservir ( “ 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.
