Today’s “Word of the Day” is brevity and it is a noun meaning “the use of few words concisely to convey a lot of meaning; conciseness, succinctness, compactness, shortness, briefness, crispness, compression”.
Example Sentence: The fifth summit of the regional grouping, the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC), held virtually in Colombo on March 30, has undoubtedly advanced the cause of regional cooperation and integration. Finally, the suggestion to simplify the grouping’s name needs urgent attention. The present name running into 12 words should be changed to four words only — the Bay of Bengal Community (BOBC). It will help the institution immensely. Brevity reflects gravitas (seriousness/importance/focus).
This word is present in The Hindu article BIMSTEC after the Colombo summit and click here to read it.
