Skill, talent (7)
I believe the answer is:
ability
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'skill' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'talent' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)
(Other definitions for ability that I've seen before include "Quality of being capable of doing something" , "Proficiency" , "Aptitude - expertise" , "Gift" , "Aptitude - competence" .)
