Also means
to divert
Usage Note
Distraer follows the same irregular pattern as traer: distraigo, distraje, distraído. The reflexive distraerse means to become distracted or to relax and unwind — context determines which. Distraído as an adjective describes an absent-minded person, and calling someone distraído can range from affectionate to mildly critical.
Examples
"El ruido me distrae cuando intento estudiar."
Natural Translation
The noise distracts me when I try to study.
