WIKTIONARY: Etymology

Old English talente, from plural of Latin talentum (“a Grecian weight; a talent of money”), from Ancient Greek τάλαντον (talanton, “balance, a particular weight, especially of gold, sum of money, a talent”). Later senses reinforced by Old French talent (“a talent, also will, inclination, desire”).
