It might be a latent gift (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

talent

'gift' is the definition.
(I know that gift can be written as talent)

'it might be a latent' is the wordplay.
'it might be' indicates an anagram (the letters might be arranged to form another word).
'latent' with letters rearranged gives 'TALENT'.

(Other definitions for talent that I've seen before include "Special or very great ability" , "Biblical coin" , "able people" , "Special aptitude for the old Greek money" , "Special ability of some kind" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
