The present talent? (4)
I believe the answer is:
gift
I believe this is a double definition.
'the present' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'talent?' is the second definition.
('gift' can be a synonym of 'talent')
(Other definitions for gift that I've seen before include "Natural talent" , "bent" , "Endowment" , "[BOUNTY] ?" , "A present or a natural ability" .)
