divorcen.

/dɪˈvɔːs/

Forms: Also Middle English devors, dyvors, divors, Middle English–1500s devorse, dyvorse, Middle English–1600s devorce, Middle English devourse, Middle English–1600s divorse, 1500s dyvorce.

Etymology: < French divorce (14th cent. in Hatzfeld & Darmesteter) = Italian divorzio, Spanish divorcio, Portuguese divorcio < Latin dīvortium (dīvertium) separation, dissolution of marriage by consent, noun of action < dīvertĕre (earlier dīvortĕre) to turn aside, spec. of a woman, to separate from or leave her husband.

1. Legal dissolution of marriage by a court or other competent body, or according to forms recognized in the country, nation, or tribe.Formerly and still often (e.g. historically or anthropologically) used in the widest sense; hence, including the formal putting away of, or separation from, a spouse by a heathen or barbarian; the pronouncing a marriage to have been invalid from the beginning owing to fraud, or to legal, canonical, or physical incapacity of the parties, as in the ‘divorce’ of Henry VIII from Catherine (now called in English Law decree of nullity), and the ‘divorce a mensa et thoro’ (from bed and board), long the only ‘divorce’ recognized by English law, but now, since 1857, called ‘judicial separation’. But, in strict legal use, now applied in English-speaking countries only to the dissolution by decree of court of what was in itself a legal marriage, upon grounds sanctioned by the law, and upon evidence accepted by the court.
