Succinct (5)

I think it could be either:

terse

brief

'succinct' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for terse that I've seen before include "Short and sharp" , "Sententious" , "Brief and to the point" , "Sparing with words; abrupt" , "Concise about trees" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, the LA Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Penny Press, The Star Tribune, the King Feature Syndicate and The Telegraph.
