Oxford Thesaurus

concise

concise adjective a concise account: succinct, short, brief, to the point, pithy, incisive, short and sweet, crisp; abridged, condensed, compressed, abbreviated, compact, compendious, potted, thumbnail, in a nutshell; epigrammatic, aphoristic; terse, laconic, sparing; informal snappy; rare lapidary. ANTONYMS lengthy, discursive, wordy. CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD concise, succinct These words both refer to brevity in statements or pieces of writing. They are both mainly used approvingly: things described as concise or succinct are also described as up-to-date, in-depth, clear, precise, and informative. Compare the use of brusque, abrupt, curt, and terse (see brusque ). ■ Concise expresses approval of a statement that conveys information briefly. It suggests that by keeping the words used to a minimum, the speaker or writer has achieved clarity as well as brevity (the instructions were clear and concise ). Concise can, however, be more neutral in tone (the church committee may need a concise report every three or six months ). It is used mainly of written documents, such as reports, instructions, and summaries. ■ Succinct language is pithy, made more forceful by its brevity, and is more often praiseworthy (John McLeish considered this admirably succinct report ). Of the two words, succinct is the one more often used of speech or of shorter pieces of writing (I told him my story in sharp, succinct phrases | each page is introduced by an imaginative, succinct heading ).These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.
