nonrestrictive clause
A nonrestrictive clause, also known as a nonessential clause, is a type of relative clause that provides additional information about a noun or a part of a sentence, but it is not essential to understanding the main idea of the sentence. This type of clause can be removed from the sentence without changing its overall meaning or grammatical correctness. Nonrestrictive clauses are usually set off by commas, parentheses, or dashes.
