It seems like “parpahrise” might be a misspelling, and the word you’re referring to could be “paraphrase.” A paraphrase is a restatement of the meaning of a text or passage using different words, often to clarify meaning or simplify complex concepts.
So, in the context provided, the paraphrase of the text could be: “Even Sherlock Holmes would be puzzled by mysterious things. This tool, resembling a belt tool or leather-punching tool found in an older toolbox (at least 10 years old), features a rotating part with spokes of different diameters that align with corresponding holes on the opposite side. It’s used for punching holes in leather or similar materials, such as for a belt.”
