The word for today is…

laconic (adjective):

: using or involving the use of a minimum of words

Source : [Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/laconic?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology :Laconia was an ancient country in southern Greece. Its capital city was Sparta, and the Spartans were famous for their terseness of speech. Laconic comes to us by way of Latin from Greek Lakonikos, meaning “native of Laconia.” In current use, laconic means “terse” or “concise to the point of seeming rude or mysterious,” and thus recalls the Spartans’ taciturnity.
