Conceivably do true scenic route? (6)

I believe the answer is:

detour

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scenic route?' is the definition.
'detour' can be an answer for 'route?' (detour is a kind of route). I'm not sure about the 'scenic' bit.

'conceivably do true' is the wordplay.
'conceivably' is an anagram indicator (can conceive it with letters in different order).
'do'+'true'='dotrue'
'dotrue' anagrammed gives 'DETOUR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for detour that I've seen before include "Temporary route" , "Indirect route" , "Non-direct route" , "Roundabout route, to avoid something say" , "Deviation from usual course" .)
