A detour is a longer or different route you take instead of your normal path — often because the direct way is blocked or closed, or just to see something interesting along the way. It's also used as a verb: 'we detoured through the old town' means you went a different way on purpose. People also use it for life in general — 'his career took a detour' means it went a different direction for a while, not the plan he originally had.
