Crossword Genius

The last ten turns showed qualities performers need (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

talents

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'showed qualities performers need' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'the last ten turns' is the wordplay.
'turns' indicates anagramming the letters.
'last'+'ten'='lastten'
'lastten' anagrammed gives 'TALENTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for talents that I've seen before include "Gifts, abilities" , "Last ten (anag.)" , "Skills" , "Special aptitudes" , "endowments" .)
