Heard Farrah praise Spooner's rewording (10)
I believe the answer is:
paraphrase
'rewording' is the definition.
(I know that paraphrase is a type of rewording)

Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paraphrase that I've seen before include "rewording" , "get across another way" , "free rendering" , "Put in other words" , "express words differently" .)
