Crossword Genius

The present talent? (4)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
