It's rude to create a diversion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detour

'a diversion' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'it's rude to create' is the wordplay.
'create' is an anagram indicator.
'rude'+'to'='rudeto'
'rudeto' anagrammed gives 'DETOUR'.

(Other definitions for detour that I've seen before include "Routed (anag.)" , "Temporary roundabout way" , "Deviation from direct course" , "The scenic route?" , "Roundabout way or bypass" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
