Works appear rash, to put things another way (10)

I believe the answer is:

paraphrase

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

'put things another way' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'works appear rash' is the wordplay.
'works' is an anagram indicator (work can mean to twist or convulse).
'appear'+'rash'='appearrash'
'appearrash' is an anagram of 'PARAPHRASE'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paraphrase that I've seen before include "summary" , "Put in other words" , "put it in a different way" , "rewording" , "Reword" .)
