Define ‘Divergence Loss’ as an Alternative Term for Impermanent Loss.

Divergence loss is an alternative and arguably more descriptive term for impermanent loss. It highlights that the "loss" arises specifically because the relative prices of the tokens in the pool diverge from the initial deposit ratio.

The term emphasizes the opportunity cost of providing liquidity instead of simply holding the assets in a wallet, where the price divergence would have resulted in a higher value.
