The context clue that makes you utilize synonyms or nearby words/phrases with similar meanings to know the definition of a word would be restatement.

Restatement, or also known as synonym restatement clue, works by hunting down any familiar synonyms that might have been used to sort of redefine a word you are unfamiliar of.

Oftentimes authors will use this method to expound on the deeper word. This is closely similar to a definition but similar words/phrases are used instead of actually defining it.
