single word requests - Antonym(s) of pleonasm


Specifically words like succinct and concise.


While not exactly the antonym of pleonasm, I would especially like to find a word that implies someone who speaks just enough, perhaps due to wisdom. The opposite of impulsive, excessive speech?



Answer



Perhaps an incisive speaker; that being clear and direct. Or a direct speaker; as an adjective for coming straight from a source (e.g. the shortest distance).
