Etymology
The word 'intense' comes from the Latin 'intensus,' meaning 'stretched out' or 'strained,' which is derived from 'intendere,' meaning to 'stretch out' or 'to direct.' The '-er' suffix is used in English to form the comparative degree of adjectives. This structure allows speakers to indicate that something is more intense than another thing. The evolution of the word reflects a broader tendency in the English language to adapt and modify Latin roots while creating new forms to express comparison.
