changelingUsage Note: Thanks to the vagaries of English spelling, bear has two past participles: born and borne. Traditionally, born is used only in passive constructions referring to birth: I was born in Chicago. For all other uses, including active constructions referring to birth, borne is the standard form: She has borne both her children at home. I have borne his insolence with the patience of a saint.
So, this would mean it would be "an ease borne of practise" not "an ease born of practise", right? Can some language freak back me up here?
[edit: this (born adj 1: brought into existence; "he was a child born of adultery" [ant: unborn] 2: being so through innate qualities; "a natural leader"; "a born musician"; "an innate talent") would suggest born without an e. I'm so confused.)
