diversivolent desiring different things. ORIGIN Latin diversus 'diverse' and volens, velle 'to wish'.

I came across this word in The White Devil by John Webster, which quite a few online dictionaries cite as a source. It could be a printing error, but the footnote in my copy of The White Devil defines "diversivolent" with two words: "Desiring strife."

It's used by the verbose, pettifogging lawyer in the trial of Vittoria:

Quote:

LAWYER
Most literated judges, please your lordships
So to connive your judgments to the view
Of this debauch'd and diversivolent woman;
Who such a black concatenation
Of mischief hath effected, that to extirp
The memory of 't, must be the consummation
Of her, and her projections—



If "diversivolent" means "desiring many things" or "avaricious", the lawyer's speech makes sense. So why "desiring strife" ? Is this a forgotten meaning of the word? And if yes, whose strife? Your own (like a death wish) or someone elses?
