means The quality of being short and to the point, especially in speech or writing.

from From Latin brevis, meaning 'short,' the same root that gave us 'brief' and 'abbreviate.' Brevis itself traces back to an old Indo-European root concerned with shortness or smallness. The word slipped into English through Old French in the medieval period, already carrying the sense of something cut neatly down to size — fittingly, a long road to a word about keeping things short.
