Desert

Answer:

ABANDON

Hint:

Think of a verb meaning to leave someone or something behind completely, often used in emotional or legal contexts.

Explanation:

The word "desert" can mean two things: a dry, sandy place or to leave someone behind. Here, it’s using the second meaning as a verb—like abandoning something. The clue plays on the double definition, tricking you into thinking of the Sahara when it’s actually hinting at the action of leaving. So "abandon" fits perfectly as the answer.
