Etymology
The word intensity comes from the Latin root intens-, which means 'stretched' and is related to tension and tense. So when someone speaks with intensity, their feeling or action is like something pulled tight and very strong, which is why the word means the 'degree' or 'strength' of a feeling or activity.
