succinctly

/səkˈsɪŋktɫi/ adv

In a succinct manner, concisely.

Word Origin Succinct literally means 'girded up from under' — from Latin sub- 'up from under' and cingere 'to gird.' The idea: when you gird up your clothes, you make them tight and compact, so succinct speech is tight and to the point. The same root cingere gives us cincture (a belt) and precinct (an area girded off). So succinctly is doing something in a tightly wrapped, concise way.
