We have developed a convention here of acknowledging (by some kind of quote indication) that someone else has posted what we just said; though sometimes the newer post-er has genuinely not seen the previous post, thus the reminders. Kind of like being in a face-to-face group: no one would appreciate their input being restated by someone else, as though the original speaker had never opened his mouth.
As to the original topic: it takes no stretch of my imagination to think that divers(i) means different, or difference. But does the end of the word have some significance (that is, root)? I tried *volent in Onelook, but it gave me only a short list:
1. benevolent
2. diversivolent
3. frivolent
4. malevolent
5. multivolent
6. omnibenevolent
7. statuvolent
8. unbenevolent
9. volent
It tastes like it ought to mean wish.
