brachyology

Etymology
From, from + ; compare.

Noun

 * 1)  A figure of speech that is an abbreviated expression, for example, the omission of "good" from "good morning!" (resulting in the abbreviated greeting "morning!").
 * 2) * 1840, Georg Benedikt Winer, A grammar of the idioms of the Greek language of the New Testament, translated from German to English by J. H. Agnew and O. G. Ebbeke, page 442:
 * In the words [...of] Acts x. 39. there might be a brachyology, in case the sense were: we are witnesses of all that he did, of this also, that they put him to death. But such an omission is not necessary.
 * 1) * 1900 September, Ed. König, “Psalm cxviii 27b”, in James Hastings (editor), The Expository Times, Volume XI, Number 12, T. & T. Clark (publisher), page 566:
 * So also in Ps 11827 the preposition עד might include the verb ‘come,’ which connects itself so naturally with ‘until,’ and a poetical mode of expression, which is naturally disposed to vivid brachyology (cf. Ps 11810b, 11b, 12b), might discover a self-evident point in the circumstance that not the victims themselves but their blood, the precious part of them (Lv 1711), is at last to touch the alter-horns.
