diverters
Things that reroute
Diverters are people or devices that redirect something from its original course.
A shower diverter switches water flow between the tub spout and showerhead.
In traffic, diverters channel vehicles away from certain routes.
People who divert funds or attention are also diverters: The accountant was one of several diverters skimming money from the pension fund.
