Brittle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crisp

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

This is all the 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 LA Times, the Evening Standard, the Penny Press, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Sun.
