What's the Difference Between 'Divine' and 'Devine'?
In this blog post we look at when to use divine and when to use devine.
'Divine' or 'Devine'?
Divine means relating to or coming directly from a god, goddess or other deity. It can also refer to something that is intensely pleasing, enjoyable or delightful. You could say for example:
-
The divine powers of the gods were said to be beyond human understanding.
-
The food was divine, and I couldn't get enough of it.
Devine is not a word in the English language. It is a misspelling of divine.
So, if you want to use the word that means relating to or coming from a god or deity, or something that is very good or excellent, you should use the word divine. If you use the word devine, it will be incorrect.
