Furnished with talents; possessing skill or talent; mentally
gifted. --Abp. Abbot (1663).
Note: This word has been strongly objected to by Coleridge
and some other critics, but, as it would seem, upon not
very good grounds, as the use of talent or talents to
signify mental ability, although at first merely
metaphorical, is now fully established, and talented,
as a formative, is just as analogical and legitimate as
gifted, bigoted, moneyed, landed, lilied, honeyed, and
numerous other adjectives having a participal form, but
derived directly from nouns and not from verbs.
