Productive noun formation from the adjective 'intense' with the suffix '-ness', meaning 'the quality of being intense'.

The word intenseness is intense plus the ending -ness. Intense comes from an old Latin root meaning 'to stretch', like tension which is 'pulled tight', so intenseness means the state of very strong feeling, force, or focus.
