Why “breviloquence” is a great word

BREVILOQUENCE — [Noun] A pertinent and terse style of speech, the art of expressing much with pointed concision. From Latin breviloquentia, from brevis ("short, brief") + loquentia ("speaking"). Unlike pauciloquy, which denotes a mere habit of saying little, or verbosity, which drowns meaning in excess, breviloquence is the sharpened blade of language. It is the surgeon’s clean incision, the definitive click of a lock sliding home, the single word that silences a room—a quiet power residing in the potent space after a perfect, chosen cut.
