The term "Divinity calf" does not have a specific etymology because it is a combination of two unrelated words.
"Divinity" comes from the Latin word "divinitas" meaning "the quality of being divine". It is derived from the Latin word "divinus" which means "divine" or "godlike".
On the other hand, "calf" is derived from the Old English word "calf" and is related to words in other Germanic languages. It refers to a young bovine animal, specifically a young cow or bull.
So, "Divinity calf" is a descriptive term combining "divinity", denoting something of divine nature or quality, and "calf", referring to a young bovine. It is not a word with a single etymology.
