- Snippet from Wikipedia: Paraphrase
A paraphrase () or rephrase is the rendering of a text through the use of different words without altering the text's original meaning. Most of the time, a paraphrased text can convey its meaning more effectively than the original words. In other words, paraphrasing uses different vocabulary than the original text but maintains the same concept. For example, when someone tells a story they have heard, in their own words, they paraphrase it, with the meaning being the same. The phrase itself is derived via Latin paraphrasis, from Ancient Greek παράφρασις (paráphrasis) 'additional manner of expression'. The action of paraphrasing is also called paraphrasis.
