Definition:

  • (a.) Unequal; dissimilar; separate.
  • (a.) Pertaining to two coordinate species or divisions.

  • (20) The disparity between a single measured diastolic pressure and the mean of many pressure values also leads to errors in identifying individual subjects with mild hypertension.

Divergent


Definition:

  • (a.) Receding farther and farther from each other, as lines radiating from one point; deviating gradually from a given direction; -- opposed to convergent.
  • (a.) Causing divergence of rays; as, a divergent lens.
  • (a.) Fig.: Disagreeing from something given; differing; as, a divergent statement.
