Why do we never hear the word "divers" meaning "various" or "several" any more?

The last person I heard saying it was my grandad, who passed away in 1984 and it was a few years before then I heard him say it. Why did it fall into disuse?

We do, but we spell it with an "e" on the end.

@NosmoKing In the 1500's when divers was actually used in the common tongue, they couldn't spell worth a sh!t. 😂
