English Language and Usage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
I don think you receive a chance to "close" your personal question - you just have to let others get it done for you. And if you don't have access to OED you've got a job establishing online that there is/was a rare obsolete verb "to parenthese" meaning "to intersperse, as with parentheses". It cites "1635 J. Hayward tr. Biondi Banish Virg. 226 A faint voyce,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whose‥lamentations were often parenthesed with sighes and teares. 283 The thing is the inconveniency of a long parenthesis; we now have forgot the sense that went before. 1762 Sterne Tr. Shandy V. xvi,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], The phenomenon had not been worth a parenthesis.
This is the rethorical meaning of the term parenthesis. Because you often put a parenthesis between round brackets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the word is also used to indicate the bracket symbol (). However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a parenthesis need not necessarily to be put in parentheses!
Interestingly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the OED also lists the (obsolete) meaning of digression
1600 Heywood 1st Pt. Edw. IV Wks. 1874 I. 29 Away with this parenthesis of words.1654 Gataker Disc. Apol. 4 But let this get a Parenthesis; return we to our task. 1757 H. Walpole Lett. H. Mann 5 May (1846) III. 288,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I figured you would prefer this parenthesis of politics.
So,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's clear the expression "to open a parenthesis" can be used to express: "I will now start to discuss something not completely related for a while,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then come back to my previous subject".
As a side note: in Italian and French you can use aprire una parentesi or ouvrir une parenthèse (to open a parenthesis) as an idiomatic expression to point a digression,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
