Crossword Genius

Put another way, soldier has rep confused (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paraphrase

'put another way' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'soldier has rep confused' is the wordplay.
'soldier' becomes 'para' (paratrooper).
'confused' indicates an anagram.
'has'+'rep'='hasrep'
'hasrep' anagrammed gives 'phrase'.
'para'+'phrase'='PARAPHRASE'

(Other definitions for paraphrase that I've seen before include "free rendering" , "put differently" , "rewording" , "express words differently" , "Put in other words" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
