conciseness

/kənˈsaɪsnəs/ noun

The property of being concise; succinctness.

Word Origin Concise comes from Latin concisus, past participle of concidere 'to cut up, cut off' — from con- 'completely' and caedere 'to cut.' So concise language is literally 'cut down' to the essentials. The same root caedere gives us incise (cut into), excise (cut out), precise (cut off in front), and even decide (cut off options). Conciseness is the quality of being cut to the point.
