Of few words (7)
I believe the answer is:
laconic
'of few words' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for laconic that I've seen before include "Spartan" , "Conical (anag) -- brief and to the point" , "Using few words, terse" , "Conical (anag) - pithy" , "Terse, brief of speech" .)
