The quality or style of being concise; the act or result of cutting something short or making it brief.
From Latin 'concisio,' derived from 'concidere' meaning 'to cut down.' This noun form emphasizes both the quality of being concise and the literal act of cutting or shortening.
In rhetoric and composition, 'concision' is celebrated as a fundamental virtue—teachers mark up student papers with comments like 'needs more concision' because that's how we learn to respect readers' time.
