Paraphrased (8)
I believe the answer is:
restated
'paraphrased' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for restated that I've seen before include "Declared, not for the first time" , "In other words" , "Didn't tell us anything new" , "Said again" , "Iterated" .)
