Origin:
The term "divergent" was first used in the 16th century to describe lines that move apart from each other. By the 19th century, it had taken on a more general meaning of "departing from a standard or norm."
In the biological sciences, the term "divergent evolution" refers to the process by which species evolve from a common ancestor into different forms. This can occur through natural selection, genetic drift, or other processes.
In mathematics, divergent sequences or series are those that do not approach a limit as the number of terms goes to infinity.
