Third person singular present tense; branches apart, moves in different directions, or develops differently.
From Latin 'divergere.' The '-es' ending is the standard third-person singular verb ending in modern English (he/she/it diverges).
In mathematics, you'll hear about how diverging series grow infinitely—it's a concept that literally means the numbers spread apart forever, never settling into a pattern.
