Just a couple of practical suggestions that might be helpful (I am assuming, incidentally, that you are referring to questions asked 'live' in a meeting, conversation or open forum:
- begin your question with a statement that highlights the area of query and therefore contextualizes your question, to aid the understanding of the listener. For example, 'I'm curious about.....' or 'When you talked about _____, I found myself wondering.....' or 'It's interesting that......', or 'I want to pick up on your mention of......'
- then, when you ask your question, follow on from the area you have specified, and make a conscious effort to both relate your question to it, and to deliberately phrase your question in very precise language. You might decide to start your question with 'What', 'Why', 'How', 'Where'. For example, 'What exactly is....' or 'Why does this happen?'....or 'What is the most important....' Or 'Can you explain....' 'If this is the case, then what would....'
A mental exercise might be, 'I need to ask this question in exactly six words. What would they be?' You might not get it down to only six, but the exercise might help tighten and clarify.
I hope this helps!
