Speaking or expressed in very few words; characterized by conciseness and brevity in communication.
From Latin 'brevis' (short) + 'loquent' (speaking eloquently). This adjective developed alongside 'breviloquence' in rhetorical discussions of speaking styles.
Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde were breviloquent masters—they could demolish an argument with one sentence that took someone else a paragraph to create.
