Meaning of a title

The title. The title has an important role. It often foreshadows and, draws you to the book. A title is a story's first impression. A title creates anticipation and expectation. Its also helps to develop the conflict and plot. 
To me Divergent means you are a part of every faction. It means you show characteristics of all five factions. In the book each teen is to pick one faction for the rest of their lives to remain loyal to. They are to forget the rest because that would show weakness and un loyalty. There are five factions. Each has their own rules. Being divergent means you show qualities from each, which is very dangerous in this society. How dose the title foreshadow?  
Divergent is a main conflict in the book. Which is why I feel the book is titled divergent. Without the idea of divergence the entire books conflict and plot would be changed. The whole conflict of the book is that Tris is trying to understand what divergent means and why it is dangerous. So if divergent wasn’t apart of this society how do you think the plot and conflict would be changed throughout this book and trilogy?
