Using a few words in variety of rich patois (10)
I believe the answer is:
aphoristic
'using a few words' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'variety of rich patois' is the wordplay.
'variety of' is an anagram indicator.
'rich'+'patois'='richpatois'
'richpatois' is an anagram of 'APHORISTIC'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for aphoristic that I've seen is " Like a saw".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
