Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Old English talente (a unit of weight or money), originating from Latin talentum, and ultimately from ancient Greek talanton meaning 'balance, weight, or sum of money'. The semantic shift to 'natural ability or aptitude' arose during the Middle Ages through the biblical Parable of the Talents in the Gospel of Matthew, where a 'talent' was a valuable coin.
