The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (19 January 2023):

diverge

   If a series of approximations to some value get progressively
   further from it then the series is said to diverge.

   The reduction of some term under some evaluation strategy
   diverges if it does not reach a normal form after a finite
   number of reductions.
