Engross, divert (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

occupy

I believe this is a double definition.

'engross' is the first definition.
(I know that engross can be written as occupy)

'divert' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for occupy that I've seen before include "Interest" , "Take over - live in" , "Hold (a position) keep (someone) busy" , "Fill, take up (space)" , "Take possession of" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
