Succinct (5)

I think it could be either:

terse

brief

'succinct' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for terse that I've seen before include "Short and sharp" , "Sententious" , "Brief and to the point" , "Sparing with words; abrupt" , "Concise about trees" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Star Tribune, the Universal, the Penny Press, The Telegraph, the LA Times and The Sun.
