ABGELENKT: (well, abgelenkt werden) to be sidetracked. (as well as about a thousand other related side meanings in german) As i said. Perfect. I cannot take credit for making the connection though.*

* I would like to credit B for initially pointing out the fortuitous german word, in the subject heading of an email. Would that my german was adept enough to have called it to mind!
