The meaning of DIVERGENCE is a drawing apart (as of lines extending from a common center).
a situation in which two things become different, or the difference between them increases: a divergence of opinion. The figures reveal a marked divergence between public sector pay settlements and those in the private sector.

The point where two things split off from each other is called a divergence. When you're walking in the woods and face a divergence in the path, you have to make a choice about which way to go. A divergence doesn't have to be a physical split — it can also be a philosophical division.

the act, fact, or amount of diverging: a divergence in opinion. (in physics, meteorology, etc.) the total amount of flux escaping an infinitesimal volume at a point in a vector field, as the net flow of air from a given region.
In vector calculus, divergence is a vector operator that operates on a vector field, producing a scalar field giving the quantity of the vector field's source at each point. More technically, the divergence represents the volume density of the outward flux of a vector field from an infinitesimal volume around a given point.
