Few people know that the word talent originally meant a monetary measure common in the ancient world.

It came into our language thanks to a parable that Christ once told to His disciples:

A certain rich man, going to a distant country, entrusted his fortune to slaves. To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to the third one.

The first two slaves put the received silver into circulation and made a profit, and the third slave buried the received talent in the ground. When the master returned, he demanded an account from the slaves. The first slave returned ten talents to the master instead of the five he received, the second four instead of two. And both of them heard praise: “You have been faithful in small things, I will put you over many things.” The third slave returned what he received, justifying himself by saying that he was afraid of losing the talent he had received, and therefore buried it in the ground. To this he heard menacing words: “You wicked and lazy slave! You should have given my silver to the merchants, and I would have received it at a profit.”

The master ordered to take away his talent from the slave and give the money to someone who was not afraid to work and increase what was given to him.

Hence the three expressions: buried (buried), exchanged and multiplied (developed) his talent. From the Bible, the word “talent” has spread in a figurative sense: as a gift of God, the ability to create, and create something new, without neglecting it.
