From Latin divellere, combining di- (apart) and vellere (to pull or tear). This is a more medical or technical term that evolved from the physical meaning of tearing something away.
Divulse is a medical and anatomical term you'll encounter in surgery or anatomy texts—it literally means to tear or rip something away from the body, which makes it much more violent-sounding than its cousin divulge.
