Etymology of INTENSIFYING

The word "intensifying" is derived from the verb "intensify".

The word "intensify" is formed by adding the suffix "-ify" to the noun "intense", which ultimately comes from Latin "intensus", meaning "stretched tightly, strained".

The Latin term "intensus" is the past participle of "intendere", which comprises "in-" (meaning "in" or "towards") and "tendere" (meaning "to stretch, extend, or aim"). Therefore, "intendere" conveys the sense of "stretching towards" or "straining".

Over time, "intense" has developed the meaning of being extreme, strong, or powerful. When the suffix "-ify" is added to it, the word "intensify" is formed, which means to make something more intense or to increase its degree or strength.
