Dear teachers,

I don't see the word 'hardset' in Longman english dictiionary.

Is it not usually used in contemporary English?

I saw the word in a workbook.

For the sentence, please see below.

quote

Developing countries, particularly those in Africa which have been hardset hit by desertification,

fought in vain to win firm commitments for new funding from wealthier nations.

I'm sorry I can't understand what you mean.

It would be appreciated if you could tell me in a little more detail,
