Divert, entertain (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amuse

I believe this is a double definition.

'divert' is the first definition.
(I know that divert can be written as amuse)

'entertain' is the second definition.
(amuse can mean to entertain or divert)

(Other definitions for amuse that I've seen before include "Cause mirth - distract" , "interest" , "Reflect" , "Beguile" , "Enliven" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
