Laconic (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

terse

'laconic' is the definition.
(I know that laconic can be written as terse)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for terse that I've seen before include "Trees (anag.)" , "Using few words" , "Short and succinct" , "Pithy and concise" , "Short and sharp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Penny Press and The New York Times.
