Latent
<lay-tent>
dormant; lurking; smoldering;
something hidden before making its appearance.
The detective would find the latent fingerprints. The mouse stole the cheese.
Memory trick:
latent reminds of late.
something late is hidden until we see it.
At work:
She had a latent talent for leadership. She surprised herself by managing the team well.
