Yes Jessica. It also means to wait.
Desesperanza means despair.
Desesperar means to lose hope and I think, though I not positive, it means to lose patience.

Sí, hay cientos de verbos que empiezan con 'des'. Y hay más de mil quinientos palabras que empiezan con 'des'.

If you type "des" into the Tomisimo dictionary, it will give you a list of many verbs that begin with "des". Very interesting!

¡Múy duro leer! Yo lo trataré tarde

--
The hope that is desperate (?)
Said the popular voice
What true so true
The truth is what it is
And stays true (?)
Although one believes the opposite

Nunca tan poético cuando yo lo dije
