Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English talent, from Old English talente, borrowed from the plural of Latin talentum (a Grecian weight; a talent of money), from Ancient Greek τάλαντον. Compare talenta talent. Later figurative senses are from Old French talent (talent, will, inclination, desire), derived from the biblical Parable of the Talents.
