📖 基本释义
[adjective] (of language or style) concise and forcefully expressive
[形容词] （指语言或风格）简洁且表达有力的
💡 深入解读
Pithy 是一个由名词 pith （木髓、树心；柑橘类水果的衬皮；核心）+形容词后缀 -y 衍生而来的单词，字面意思即指“多髓的”以及“柑橘类水果衬皮厚的”，比如：一个衬皮厚的橙子a pithy orange从“多髓的”这个概念出发，现在更为常见的是用 pithy 引申形容言语或写作“简洁有力的、简洁扼要的、简洁精炼的、言简意赅的”，常意味着不仅简明扼要，而且富有实质和意义，因而特别具有说服力或效力，
比如：
精炼的对白pithy dialogue言简意赅的评论a pithy remark
