There are always numerous means of every word when we considered (different parts of speech in terms of a noun, verb, adj, adverb).

When we considered in terms of a noun, Diversion comes from two words divert and diversion means to turn aside, to deviate from the path.

But amusement : an activity that diverts the mind from tedious or serious concerns; a recreation or pastime. It is a closed meaning but not the exact one, it is an expression of diversion.

So the more pertinent meaning is a deviation.

Distortion is nothing but destroying.

Amusement means entertainment then how it would be a synonym to diversion as diversion means deviation (i.e) changing from their actual path.

Amusement → entertainment, pastime → fits the first meaning.

Deviation → departure from a standard path (second meaning of diversion, but not the primary one here).
