Possibility

POTENTIAL

Think of a word that describes something not yet realized but full of promise, like an athlete’s untapped talent or a seed’s future growth.

"Possibility" hints at something that could happen or exist, and "potential" fits perfectly as it means an untapped ability or chance for future development. The word itself also carries a sense of latent power, which aligns with the idea of a hidden or not-yet-realized possibility. It’s a straightforward definition with no wordplay—just a direct match between the clue and a synonym for what’s implied.
