ELLIPSE, verb. (grammar) To remove from a phrase a word which is grammatically needed, but which is clearly understood without having to be stated.

Wise words
It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more

idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words,
but a great deal in a few.
