Something that is quick and efficient, and doesn't take an unnecessarily long route or way around things, e.g. "My bus takes the direct route." It can also describe speech when it is in speech marks, as opposed to indirect speech or 'reported' speech which is a rougher account of what someone says, e.g.

Direct: "Do you want to go to the movies?" Sam said.

Indirect/Reported: Sam asked me if I wanted to go to the movies.
