Morphology
nonconvergence = convergence (transparent) = non + converge + ence
The word is transparently formed by adding the prefix 'non-' to 'convergence', clearly indicating the negation of convergence.
Etymology
Nonconvergence is made from non- meaning 'not' and converge meaning 'to come together', like roads or ideas that meet, so nonconvergence is when people, ideas, or results do not come together or agree.
