Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term is a compound formed from 'talent', derived from Middle English via Old French and Latin from the Greek 'talanton' (a unit of weight and money, later metaphorically denoting natural ability or capacity), and 'show', originating from Old English 'sceawian' (to look at, view, or exhibit). Combined in the mid-20th century, the phrase originally described amateur variety revues in schools and community centers before evolving into a major television broadcasting genre.
