intenseness

/ˌɪnˈtɛnsnəs/ noun

The characteristic of being intense; intensity.

Word Origin From Latin in- 'in' and tendere 'to stretch' — intense means stretched tightly, strained. Intenseness is that state of being highly concentrated. The same root tendere gives us tense, tension, extend (stretch out), intend (stretch toward), and pretend (stretch forward, feign). The PIE root *ten- 'to stretch' also underlies thin and tenuous.
