not a word for word account

VERBATIM is latin and basically means "word for word"
So not a verbatim account would be the basic trend of the text or speech or whatever but not strictly word for word!

It simply means not a word for word account. Take care

It means that although it's not literally "word for word", the gist, or concept of the account is still there.
A summary of what happened, but using different words than the original.

It means that the account is not word for word what the original speaker said.

It means that the words found in whatever you read were not the exact words the author said, but were very close.

this is a fairly good representation of what happened or what was said, but not word for word.
