Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the English verb 'divorce' combined with the French participial suffix '-é' (feminine '-ée'), entering the English lexicon in the late 19th century. The term historically carried specific social connotations regarding marital status, though modern usage applies it neutrally to any person who is legally divorced.
