Usage Note
Divinement is used both in a religious sense (in a divine manner) and as an enthusiastic intensifier meaning 'wonderfully' or 'superbly' — elle chante divinement. It belongs to a register that is slightly elevated or poetic; in everyday speech merveilleusement or à merveille are more common equivalents.
Examples
"Elle joue divinement du violon."
Natural Translation
She plays the violin divinely.
