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!").
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.
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 118), 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.
词源
From Late Latin brachiologia, from Ancient Greek βραχύς (brakhús, “short”) + -λογία (-logía, “speech”); compare brachylogy.
