"Female divinity," "goddess" and "star" are English equivalents of the Italian word diva. The feminine singular noun most famously refers to a woman of outstanding talent in Opera and in such other entertainments as cinema and theater. The pronunciation for this Italian loan word in English since the nineteenth century will be "DEE-va" in Pisan Italian.
