Drivers start taking different routes? (7)
I believe the answer is:
detours
'drivers start taking different routes?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'drivers start taking different routes?' is the wordplay.
'start' indicates taking the first letters.
'taking' says to put letters next to each other.
'different' indicates anagramming the letters (letters placed in a different order).
The first letter of 'drivers' is 'd'.
'routes' anagrammed gives 'etours'.
'd'+'etours'='DETOURS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for detours that I've seen is " Temporary indirect routes".)
