The Road not Taken

In the first stanza, Frost uses the word “diverged.” What does this mean, and what context clues can you pull from the text to support your assertion? Why does Frost repeat this in the final stanza?

Diverge: separate from another route, especially a main one, and go in a different direction.

This of course is the theme of the poem. There are two separate choices. The speaker must decide on the path: his life path. The ending tells us how this diverge ended up.
