Interpret two bits of text (10)
I believe the answer is:
paraphrase
'interpret' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paraphrase that I've seen before include "Express another way" , "Put in other words" , "summary" , "Reword" , "free rendering" .)
