Etymonline
Word Origin & History
divers
late 13c., "various," from O.Fr. divers "different, various, singular, odd, exceptional, wretched, treacherous, perverse," from L. diversus "turned different ways," in L.L. "various," pp. of divertere (see divert). Sense of "several, numerous" is recorded from c.1300, referring
EXPAND"originally and in form to the variety of objects; but, as variety implies number, becoming an indeffinite numeral word expressing multiplicity" [OED].
