What is Paraphrasing?

Paraphrasing is the act of rephrasing or restating a piece of text or information in one's own words while retaining the original meaning and essence of the content. It involves expressing the content in a different way without using the exact wording of the source material. Paraphrasing is often used to clarify or simplify complex ideas, avoid plagiarism, or improve the readability of a text while giving proper credit to the original source.
