Etymology
The term 'talent-driven' combines 'talent,' from the Old French 'talent,' meaning 'inclination, will, desire,' and 'driven,' from the Old English 'drifan,' meaning 'to drive, propel.'
'Talent' evolved from the Latin 'talentum,' referring to a unit of weight or money, and 'driven' from the Proto-Germanic 'dribanan,' meaning 'to drive.'
Initially, 'talent' referred to a unit of currency, but over time it evolved to mean 'natural aptitude or skill.'
