Learn English: Compendious

Compendious is a very old word - circa 14th century
Stumbled upon it in 1996 in my "History of Economics Thoughts" notes
Definition: marked by brief expression of a comprehensive matter : concise and comprehensive.
How to use it: "I want you to be as compendious as possible in your report"..then be ready to get some weird look from your audience.
