.htaccess assistance with rewrite rule

I have trouble rewriting virtual directories as variables.. can someone help please?

The URL is: https://www.example.com/content/index.php?var=1-dKein4i59xcNjfks

I want it to look like: https://www.example.com/content/featured/1-dKein4i59xcNjfks

where "content" is a real directory and "featured" and "1-dKein4i59xcNjfks" are virtual my current .htaccess code is incorrect as:

   RewriteEngine On

   RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ content/index\.php\?var=([^\&\ ]+)
   RewriteRule ^content\/?index\.php$ /var/%1? [L,R=301]

Can someone assist please? thanks
