Etymology: The word "diversion" traces its roots back to the Middle English word "diversioun," which itself derived from the Old French "diversion" (meaning "turning aside") and ultimately from the Latin "divertere" (meaning "to turn aside, to deflect").
Meaning: 1. An activity or pastime that serves as a distraction or amusement, especially from something more serious or demanding. 2. The act of turning aside or deflecting something. 3. A means or device used to deflect or distract.
Origin: The term "diversion" was first used in the mid-14th century to describe a change in direction or purpose. Over time, it came to be used more broadly to refer to any activity that provides entertainment or relief from more serious matters. In the 17th and 18th centuries, "diversion" was commonly used to describe theatrical performances and other forms of entertainment.
