means A person who claims to uncover hidden things — water underground, future events, or buried truths — often through intuition, ritual, or tools rather than direct evidence.

from From Latin 'divinare,' meaning to foresee or predict, itself rooted in 'divinus' — divine, of the gods. The word carries its ancestry openly: a diviner was originally someone channeling godly insight, not just guessing well. The same root gives us 'divine' as both verb and adjective — to divine something is to sense it the way the gods supposedly could, all-seeing and unbothered by evidence.
