Etymology
'intensely-made' originates from the combination of 'intense' and 'made', where 'intense' comes from Latin 'intensus', meaning 'stretched tightly', and 'made' is the past participle of 'make', from Old English 'macian'.
'intense' changed from the Latin word 'intensus' and eventually became the modern English word 'intense'. 'Made' evolved from the Old English 'macian' to the modern English 'make'.
Initially, 'intense' meant 'stretched tightly', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'extreme in degree'. 'Made' has retained its meaning of 'created or formed'.
