Abrupt, terse (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

curt

This clue is a double definition.

'abrupt' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'terse' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for curt that I've seen before include "Brusque, short" , "Rude" , "Dismissively short" , "Brief, dismissive" , "Shrub with bright autumn colours" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
