Latent ability (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

potential

'latent ability' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for potential that I've seen before include "Possibility, promise" , "Latent, not yet actual" , "Latent power" , "Likely, though not yet tested" , "Latent qualities that may develop" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
