Here's you definition :-)

"The Amplified Bible (AMP) is an English translation of the Holy Bible produced by The Lockman Foundation. The first edition was published in 1965. It is largely a revision of the American Standard Version of 1901, with reference made to various texts in the original languages. It is designed to "amplify" the text by using a system of punctuation and other typographical features to bring out all shades of meaning present in the original texts."

Here is an example of what the Lockman Foundation means.

John 1:1, In the beginning [before all time] was the Word [Christ] and the Word was with God and the Word was God himself. [Isa 9:6]

The [] surround the extra material put into the verse to bring out the meaning of the verse.
