Etymology
'intensely-crafted' originates from the combination of 'intense' and 'craft,' where 'intense' meant 'extreme in degree' and 'craft' meant 'to make or create.'
'intense' changed from the Latin word 'intensus' and 'craft' from the Old English 'cræft,' eventually forming the modern English word 'intensely-crafted.'
Initially, 'intense' meant 'stretched tightly,' and 'craft' meant 'skill or art,' but over time they evolved into their current meanings of 'extreme in degree' and 'to make or create.'
