Word-a-day
brachylogy( (bra-KIL-uh-jee) ) noun
show definitionConciseness of diction or an instance of such.
[From Medieval Latin brachylogia, from Greek brakhulogi, brakhu-, brachy-, short + -logy.]
Usage: “The term for the omission of words that are intended to be ‘understood’ by the reader is ellipsis. Its extreme or irregular form has a name in Greek rhetoric: brachylogy, relying on the listener to supply the missing words, much as I relied on the reader to put a verb in the sentence fragment ‘A profound question, that.’” William Safire, Anchorspeak, The San Francisco Chronicle, Oct 7, 1990.
