Etymology of TALENTS

The word "talents" has its origins in ancient Greek. It is derived from the Greek word "talanton", which referred to a unit of weight or measure. In ancient times, it was commonly used to denote a large sum of money, specifically a talent of silver or gold.

Over time, the meaning of "talents" expanded to include a broader concept of skills, abilities, or natural gifts possessed by individuals. This usage is often attributed to the biblical Parable of the Talents, found in Matthew 25:14-30, where "talents" are symbolic of God-given abilities entrusted to individuals.

Today, the term "talents" generally refers to a person's unique skills, aptitudes, or personal qualities that make them exceptional or gifted in specific areas.
