'redirect' is the definition.

'queen entering european parliament' is the wordplay.
'queen' becomes 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'entering' indicates putting letters inside.
'european parliament' becomes 'dail' (Dail Eireann, part of Irish parliament).
'er' going within 'dail' is 'DERAIL'.

Can you help me to learn more?
