divergently
Going different ways
Divergently means in a manner that moves apart or differs.
Two paths diverge when they branch in separate directions; two thinkers diverge when their conclusions differ: The two studies approached the problem divergently.
The word often appears in contexts of contrasting viewpoints or methods: They interpreted the data divergently.
