Gifted (8)

I believe the answer is:

talented

'gifted' is the definition.
(I know that gifted can be written as talented)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for talented that I've seen before include "Possessing ability" , "Having natural or special ability" , "Showing a natural aptitude" , "Skilful" , "Having special or great ability" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror, The Guardian and The New York Times.
