I believe the answer is:

tact

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">delicate use of words</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for tact that I've seen before include "Skill in dealing with people" , "Sensitivity in dealings" , "Diplomacy or discretion" , "Sensitivity (in dealing with others)" , "Sensitivity, diplomacy" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
