Competence (7)

I believe the answer is:

ability

'competence' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ability that I've seen before include "Quality of being capable of doing something" , "Capability, competence" , "Talent, know-how" , "Skill, talent" , "Aptitude - expertise" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the Newsday.com, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph, The Times, The Mirror, The Guardian and the King Feature Syndicate.
