  1. Endowed with talents; having talents or talent; having or exhibiting special mental aptitudes or superior mental ability; gifted. What a miserable and restless thing ambition is, when one talented but as a common person, yet, by the favour of his prince, hath gotten that interest that in a sort all the keys of England hang at his girdle. Abp. Abbot (1562-1633) in Rushworth's Collections, I. 445. The way in which talented and many of its fellows were once frequently used shows that those words, to the consciousness of our ancestors, began with being strictly participles. F. Hall, Mod. Eng., p. 74.
