Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Noun Strong's Number: g2047 Greek: eremia

Desert (Noun and Adjective):

primarily "a solitude, an uninhabited place," in contrast to a town or village, is translated "deserts" in Hbr 11:38; "the wilderness" in Mat 15:33, AV, "a desert place," RV; so in Mar 8:4; "wilderness" in 2Cr 11:26. It does not always denote a barren region, void of vegetation; it is often used of a place uncultivated, but fit for pasturage.
See WILDERNESS.

B-1 Adjective Strong's Number: g2048 Greek: eremos

Desert (Noun and Adjective):

(a), with reference to persons, "deserted," desolate, deprived of the friends and kindred, e.g., of a woman deserted by a husband, Gal 4:27;

(b) so of a city, as Jerusalem, Mat 23:38; or uninhabited places, "desert," e.g., Mat 14:13, 15; Act 8:26; in Mar 1:35, RV, "desert," for AV, "solitary."
