Genius is present (4)
I believe the answer is:
gift
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'genius' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'is present' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for gift that I've seen before include "A present or gratuity" , "flair" , "Give away" , "Present - natural aptitude" , "Present or special talent" .)
