Winding route following diversion primarily (6)
I believe the answer is:
detour
'winding route following diversion primarily' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'winding route following diversion primarily' is the wordplay.
'winding' indicates an anagram.
'following' says to put letters next to each other.
'primarily' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'diversion' is 'd'.
'route' is an anagram of 'etour'.
'etour' after 'd' is 'DETOUR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for detour that I've seen before include "Deviation from the usual route" , "Roundabout way or bypass" , "A way around or deviation from intended route" , "Deviation from usual course" , "Diversion" .)
