skill

skill. Special ability and proficiency; esp., the practical and familiar knowledge of the principles and processes of an art, science, or trade, combined with the ability to apply them appropriately, with readiness and dexterity. • Skill is generally considered more than mere competence. It is a special competence that is not a part of the reasonable person’s ordinary equipment, but that results from aptitude cultivated through special training and experience.

ordinary skill. The skill of a typical person who performs a given task or job.

reasonable skill. The skill ordinarily possessed and used by persons engaged in a particular business.
