Diversions go into ruins to skirt labourers (14)
I believe the answer is:
entertainments
'diversions' is the definition.
(entertainment is a kind of diversion)
'go into ruins to skirt labourers' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'into' could be 'in' and 'in' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for entertainments that I've seen before include "amusements" , "games etc" .)
