Gift, natural ability (6)
I believe the answer is:
talent
This clue is a double definition.
'gift' is the first definition.
(I know that gift can be written as talent)
'natural ability' is the second definition.
(I know that talent is a type of natural ability)
(Other definitions for talent that I've seen before include "some scouts are looking for" , "Natural skill or flair" , "Innate skill" , "Dull means claw" , "Attractive young girls" .)
