Brittle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crisp

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for crisp that I've seen before include "brief" , "Snappy" , "Fresh and bracing" , "food in packet" , "Firm and fresh or easily crumbled" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, the Sydney Morning Herald, the LA Times, The Sun and the Penny Press.
