"**Paraphrase"** ... "is restatement of a text or passages, using other words. ...

"A paraphrase typically explains or clarifies the text that is being paraphrased. ...

"A paraphrase does not need to accompany a direct [|quotation], but when this is so, the paraphrase typically serves to put the source's statement into perspective or to clarify the context in which it appeared. A paraphrase is typically more detailed than a [|summary]. ...

"Paraphrase may attempt to preserve the essential [|meaning] of the material being paraphrased. Thus, the (intentional or otherwise) reinterpretation of a source to infer a meaning that is not explicitly evident in the source itself qualifies as "[|original research]," and not as paraphrase." - [|Wikipedia]
