Divert a group of wild emus (5)
I believe the answer is:
amuse
'divert' is the definition.
(I know that divert can be written as amuse)
'a group of wild emus' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
an anagram of 'emus' is 'muse' which is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amuse that I've seen before include "Recreate" , "Divert or entertain mildly" , "Delight" , "interest" , "Keep occupied" .)
