'round' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'short bar put another way' is the wordplay.
'short' means to remove the last letter.
'another' is an anagram indicator.
'way' becomes 't' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'bar'+'put'='barput'
'barput' with its last letter taken away is 'barpu'.
'barpu' is an anagram of 'abrup'.
'abrup'+'t'='ABRUPT'

Can you help me to learn more?
