Etymology
Intensely comes from an old Latin word meaning 'stretched', from in- 'in' and tendere 'to stretch'. You can see the same root in tension and extend, and so doing something intensely is like stretching your energy or attention very strongly, which is why it means doing something with great force or focus.
