Note
A present-tense form that almost always takes an object: something diverts traffic, funds, attention, or a restless audience. One verb covers rerouting, distracting and amusing, so the object usually settles the meaning. A bypass diverts cars, and a magician diverts the children. Used without an object, in the old sense of wandering off a subject, it is obsolete and best left to older texts.
