Homogeny :: Homogeny (n.) The correspondence of common descent; -- a term used to supersede homology by Lankester, who also used homoplasy to denote any superinduced correspondence of position and structure in parts embryonically distinct (other writers using the term homoplasmy). Thus, there is homogeny between the fore limb of a mammal and the wing of a bird; but the right and left ventricles of the heart in both are only in homoplasy with each other, these having arisen independently since the divergence

Divergent :: Divergent (a.) Receding farther and farther from each other, as lines radiating from one point; deviating gradually from a given direction; -- opposed to convergent..

Axil :: Axil (n.) The angle or point of divergence between the upper side of a branch, leaf, or petiole, and the stem or branch from which it springs..

Radiately :: Radiately (adv.) In a radiate manner; with radiation or divergence from a center.

Alternate :: Alternate (a.) Distributed, as leaves, singly at different heights of the stem, and at equal intervals as respects angular divergence..

Divarication :: Divarication (n.) A divergence of lines of color sculpture, or of fibers at different angles..

Planula :: Planula (n.) In embryonic development, a vesicle filled with fluid, formed from the morula by the divergence of its cells in such a manner as to give rise to a central space, around which the cells arrange themselves as an envelope; an embryonic form intermediate between the morula and gastrula. Sometimes used as synonymous with gastrula..

Aberrate :: Aberrate (v. i.) To go astray; to diverge.

Divergement :: Divergement (n.) Divergence.

Obliquity :: Obliquity (n.) The condition of being oblique; deviation from a right line; deviation from parallelism or perpendicularity; the amount of such deviation; divergence; as, the obliquity of the ecliptic to the equator..

Divergency :: Divergency (n.) A receding from each other in moving from a common center; the state of being divergent; as, an angle is made by the divergence of straight lines..

Divarication :: Divarication (n.) A separation into two parts or branches; a forking; a divergence.

Diverge :: Diverge (v. i.) To extend from a common point in different directions; to tend from one point and recede from each other; to tend to spread apart; to turn aside or deviate (as from a given direction); -- opposed to converge; as, rays of light diverge as they proceed from the sun..

Divergent :: Divergent (a.) Causing divergence of rays; as, a divergent lens..
