divorced

/dɪˈvɔrst/

When used as an adjective, "divorced" describes a person's marital status. It is common to say someone is "divorced" or "a divorced person." When using the verb form for marriage, it is very common to use the phrase "get divorced" to describe the process of ending the marriage. In a non-legal sense, when you say two things are "divorced from" each other, it means they are completely separate or no longer connected. This usage is more formal and often used in academic or professional discussions.
