concise dictionary
Compact word reference
A concise dictionary is a shortened version of a larger dictionary, selecting the most common words and trimming definitions to essentials.
The term often appears in titles to signal a portable, accessible reference rather than an exhaustive scholarly work: I keep a concise dictionary on my desk for quick lookups.
