Blunt or curt (7)
I believe the answer is:
brusque
I believe this is a double definition.
'blunt' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'curt' is the second definition.
(I know that curt can be written as brusque)
(Other definitions for brusque that I've seen before include "Blunt or offhand" , "Curt, snippy" , "Terse" , "Curt in speech" , "Curt, blunt" .)
