The word means to strip away or get rid of something, usually something for which there has been an economic, political, or financial relationship. For example, during the apartheid regime of South Africa, a number of countries (and corporations) decided to divest from doing any business with that country until apartheid ended; or certain individuals might divest from any stocks or other investments they had in corporations that pollute or damage the environment.
