i think the parentheses is for explaining that
context_item refers "The input data to query";
path_expression refers "the JSON path expression defining the query";
json_path_name refers to "an optional name";



removing parentheses means we need to rephrase this sentence?
So I come up with the following rephrase:

The context_item specifies the input data to query, the
path_expression is a JSON path expression defining the query,
json_path_name is an optional name for the path_expression. The
optional PASSING clause can provide data values to the
path_expression.
