Синонимы: briefly, in brief
Происхождение: Согласно блогу Oxford Dictionaries, идиома “in a nutshell” происходит от истории, датированной 77 г. н.э.: древнеримский историк Плиний Старший утверждал, что поэма Гомера «Илиада» была написана на пергаменте настолько тонком, что свиток с поэмой легко помещался внутри скорлупки грецкого ореха. Тем самым, масштабное произведение представало в компактном, сжатом виде, буквально – «в ореховой скорлупе».
Шекспир впервые использовал в «Гамлете» идиому “in a nutshell” в близком современному значении “compact”, “concise”:
O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.
