concisely

/kənˈsaɪsɫi/ adv

In a concise manner, briefly, without excessive length.

Word Origin Concisely comes from concise, which is from Latin con- 'completely' and caedere 'to cut' — literally 'cut down, trimmed'. So to speak concisely is to cut away all unnecessary words. The same cutting root gives us incise (cut into), excise (cut out), precise (cut beforehand, exact), and decide (cut off, settle).
