Etymology

The term 'divorcement' has its roots in the Old French word 'divorcier,' which means 'to separate' and is derived from the Latin 'divortium,' meaning 'separation.' Historically, divorce was often seen as a social stigma, and legal systems developed various grounds for which a marriage could be dissolved, such as infidelity or abandonment. While 'divorce' has become the more common terminology, 'divorcement' appears in legal contexts, particularly in earlier texts where the formal dissolution of marriage was discussed. Over time, the understanding and acceptance of divorce evolved, reflecting changes in societal attitudes towards marriage and individual rights.
