crafted with intensity
Etymology
'intensely' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'intensus,' where 'in-' meant 'toward' and 'tensus' meant 'stretched.' 'Created' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'creare,' meaning 'to make or produce.'
'intensus' transformed into the Old French word 'intense,' and eventually became the modern English word 'intense.' 'Creare' transformed into the Old French word 'creer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'create.'
Initially, 'intense' meant 'stretched or strained,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'extreme in degree.' 'Create' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to make or produce.'
