parenthesis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this digression' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'bring up idea timeshare arrangement' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'bring up' could be 'parent' (synonyms) and 'parent' is present in the answer.

'will make' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for parenthesis that I've seen before include "Extra words" , "something added in text" , "that immediately follows this" , "interval" , "Something in brackets" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
