divers
Various and assorted
Divers is an archaic or literary adjective meaning various or several: divers opinions on the matter, divers causes contributed to the collapse.
The word survives mainly in legal and religious texts.
It shares origins with diverse but emphasizes number rather than difference—divers things are multiple, diverse things are varied.
