Easily broken (7)

I think it could be either:

brittle

fragile

'easily broken' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for brittle that I've seen before include "Type of toffee made with nuts" , "Hard but easily broken" , "Easily cracked or snapped" , "Fragile" , "apt to snap" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, The Mirror, The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal and the Penny Press.
