. . . if your return a diamond to knock out diamondA before declarer has the chance to establish the long spade then he won't be able to return to dummy to cash it. One major word of caution though - your diamond switch must be the queen. A low diamond will allow declarer to win partner's king and take a ruffing finesse against your diamond queen.

Quite what South was thinking about only he will know. After winning spadeA he should simply draw trumps and concede a spade. Twelve tricks that even Grandma Floorum could make.
