Root Explanation

Talented → It is formed from "talent" (from Latin "talentum", meaning a sum of money or a natural ability) and "-ed" (a suffix used to form adjectives indicating possession). The word "talented" means possessing a natural ability or skill.

Memory Tip

Think of 'talent' as a natural ability, and the '-ed' shows that someone has this ability. So, when you hear 'talented', picture someone who possesses a special skill.
