Do the reverse of creating a diversion? (4,1,5,3)

'diversion?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'do the reverse of creating a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'do' could be 'ut' (synonyms) and 'ut' is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
