Divoon is an American dated slang word meaning divine or wonderful — an exaggerated, slightly campy expression of delight or admiration. It's the kind of word that would have been used in 1930s and 40s American socialite or theatrical circles, where exaggerated adjectives were fashionable ('simply divoon, darling'). It carries a strong flavour of a specific era and social register — deliberately overblown, ironic, or theatrical. Today it reads as nostalgia camp.
She floated in wearing the most divoon dress anyone at the party had ever seen.
