Sometimes “हुआ” is not added. The past participle agrees with the number and gender of the noun it qualifies. When a noun or a pronoun is used attributively before a past participle, the adjective should be in the possessive case.

One of the more popular definitions of the word talent at Urbandictionary relates to a young woman’s looks. Checking out the local talent is an expression dating from the days of the grandparents of most Urbandictionary users and was adopted in the 1940s. But etymologically, appreciating the talents of members of the opposite sex might actually relate to whether they are overweight or not; or perhaps how rich they are. The word comes from Greek where it referred to a scale or balance as well as the weight that might be placed on that balance. Then it was applied to a specific weight, although that varied from place to place and time to time sometimes being 30 kilograms, sometimes 40, other times, other weights. Since scales or balances were mainly used in financial transactions a talent later became a unit of currency and it’s with these two meanings that the word it first entered Old English. The Old English talent had come via Latin and being Latin the word arrived again through French after the Norman Conquest this time with a new meaning that had developed as French was emerging out of its Latin roots. This new talent meant a person’s “will” or “state of mind” but this meaning too was swept away in the currents of time when the word began appearing in English translations of the Bible. In those translations a talent was again a piece of money since the Bible story harkened back to times when that was in fact the case. But Bible stories are told for their allegorical value and the Parable of the Talents was one of these. In that story a master gives his three servants some talents—being pieces of money—which two of them invest and earn interest but the third effectively hides under his mattress. The moral of the story being that you’ve got to use the talents you’ve been given in this life—which is what gave the word talent the meaning we understand today.

Being disoriented didn’t used to mean being confused. SPONSOR: GotoMeeting Hold your meetings online for just $49/mo. Try GoToMeeting FREE for 30 days. To orient oneself is to figure out how or where you are in relation to other things. Orienteering involves using a compass to navigate across the landscape. To become disoriented is to become confused; you’ve lost your bearings. These words orient, orienteering and disoriented don’t appear on the surface to be related to the orient in oriental rug, but in fact they are. The ancestor word of our word orient is from Latin and meant “to arise” or “to be born”.  According to the OED, in 1375, orient arose into the English language born out of the pen of one Geoffrey Chaucer who used the word more than once with both the meanings of the lands to the east and the east itself. In his Knight’s Tale he writes And fiery Phoebus rises up so bright That all the orient is laughing with the light, And with his streamers dries, among the greves, The silver droplets hanging on the leaves. So the connection is that the sun arises or is born every morning in the east.  Hence the Far East was called the Orient and the compass point east called orient ever since Chaucer’s time in English but even longer in French and Latin. By the early 1700s church architects would say that their sanctuaries were oriented because they faced east. By the mid 1800s other things as well as people could be oriented which by this point didn’t always have to mean that they faced toward the east. In a time when orient meant “east” disoriented meant to “leave the east” or to “turn from the east” but as orient morphed to mean other directions to be disoriented followed along meaning not only that one had lost their direction but extending to mean confused generally.
