rewording
Saying it differently
Rewording is expressing something again using different words.
The goal is usually clarity, emphasis, or avoiding repetition: Let me try a rewording of that question.
Unlike paraphrasing, which may summarize or interpret, rewording stays close to the original meaning while changing the vocabulary or structure.
