Far from verbose (5)
I believe the answer is:
terse
'far from verbose' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for terse that I've seen before include "Brusque, concise" , "Curtly brief" , "Brief; abrupt" , "Curt, concise" , "Curt - abrupt" .)
