Breviary - a podcast by Word of the Day

Breviary is a noun that refers to a brief summary.

The Latin word brevis (BRE vis) means ‘short’ or ‘brief.’ Our word of the day was initially used by the Catholic Church to describe a book containing the service for each day. In time, it has come to refer to any brief summary.

I wasn’t able to attend the monthly meeting for our parking lot attendants, but based on the breviary I saw, I didn’t miss much. According to a brief summary, most of the conversation revolved around what color gloves were most popular in the profession.
