Bowed to talent (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bent

This clue is a double definition.

'bowed' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'talent' is the second definition.
(bent is a kind of talent)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bent that I've seen before include "Dishonest; angled" , "Natural aptitude" , "Criminal - aptitude" , "Flexed -- penchant" , "Propensity, preference" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
