Word origin
The term 'nonconvergent' originated in mathematics to describe a series or sequence that does not tend towards a limit or definite value. Over time, it has also been adopted in general contexts to refer to situations where there is no common conclusion or agreement. The prefix 'non-' signifies negation, while 'convergent' is derived from the Latin word 'convergere,' meaning 'to incline together.' Therefore, 'nonconvergent' essentially means 'not inclining together,' highlighting the lack of convergence or agreement.
