词源
divert (v.)early 15c., diverten, “change the direction or course of; change the aim or destination of, turn aside or away” (transitive), from Old French divertir (14c.) and directly from Latin divertere “to turn in different directions,” blended with devertere “turn aside,” from vertere “to turn” (from PIE root *wer- (2) “to turn, bend”) with, in the first word, an assimilated form of dis- “aside,” and in the second with de- “from.”
Sense of “draw off (someone) from a particular intention or state of mind” is from c. 1600, hence the meaning “amuse, entertain” (1660s). Related: Diverted; diverting.Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
divert (v.) 15c. 早期,diverten,“改变…的方向或路线;改变…的目标或目的地,转向一边或离开”(及物),源自古法语 divertir (14c.) 并直接源自拉丁语 divertere “到向不同方向转动”与 devertere“转向一边”混合,来自 vertere“转动”(来自 PIE 词根 *wer- (2)“转动,弯曲”),在第一个单词中,是 dis- 的同化形式“aside”,第二个是 de-“from”。 “使(某人)摆脱特定的意图或精神状态”的含义来自c。 1600,因此意思是“娱乐,娱乐”(1660年代)。相关:转移;转移。相关条目及更多
