resorts

Turns to desperately

Resorts functions as both noun and verb.

A resort is a place people visit for recreation or relaxation—a beach resort, a ski resort, a health resort.

To resort to something is to turn to it as an option, often reluctantly or as a last measure: We had to resort to bribery.

As a last resort, you try something when all else has failed.

The noun and verb connect through the idea of going to something for help or relief.
