    In a literal sense, deviating refers to going off track, either physically or metaphorically. It can pertain to navigating a divergent route, veering away from the intended destination, or straying from a planned course.

For example, a deviating pulse rate or deviating psychological behavior may suggest irregularity or anomaly.
