- Intensity - n. - The state or quality of being intense; intenseness; extreme degree; as, intensity of heat, cold, mental application, passion, etc.
- Intensity - n. - The amount or degree of energy with which a force operates or a cause acts; effectiveness, as estimated by results produced.
- Intensity - n. - The magnitude of a distributed force, as pressure, stress, weight, etc., per unit of surface, or of volume, as the case may be; as, the measure of the intensity of a total stress of forty pounds which is distributed uniformly over a surface of four square inches area is ten pounds per square inch.
- Intensity - n. - The degree or depth of shade in a picture.
- Magnetometer - n. - An instrument for measuring the intensity of magnetic forces; also, less frequently, an instrument for determining any of the terrestrial magnetic elements, as the dip and declination.
- Rheometer - n. - An instrument for measuring currents, especially the force or intensity of electrical currents; a galvanometer.
- Pole - n. - One of the opposite or contrasted parts or directions in which a polar force is manifested; a point of maximum intensity of a force which has two such points, or which has polarity; as, the poles of a magnet; the north pole of a needle.
- Interference - n. - The mutual influence, under certain conditions, of two streams of light, or series of pulsations of sound, or, generally, two waves or vibrations of any kind, producing certain characteristic phenomena, as colored fringes, dark bands, or darkness, in the case of light, silence or increased intensity in sounds; neutralization or superposition of waves generally.
- Soft - superl. - Not harsh or offensive to the sight; not glaring; pleasing to the eye; not exciting by intensity of color or violent contrast; as, soft hues or tints.
- Cointense - a. - Equal in intensity or degree; as, the relations between 6 and 12, and 8 and 16, are cointense.
- Flush - n. - A suffusion of the face with blood, as from fear, shame, modesty, or intensity of feeling of any kind; a blush; a glow.
- Hyperchromatism - n. - The condition of having an unusual intensity of color.
- Actinometric - a. - Pertaining to the measurement of the intensity of the solar rays, either (a) heating, or (b) actinic.
- Microphonous - a. - Serving to augment the intensity of weak sounds; microcoustic.
- Intensity - n. - The state or quality of being intense; intenseness; extreme degree; as, intensity of heat, cold, mental application, passion, etc.
- Lucimeter - n. - an instrument for measuring the intensity of light; a photometer.
- Microphone - n. - An instrument for intensifying and making audible very feeble sounds. It produces its effects by the changes of intensity in an electric current, occasioned by the variations in the contact resistance of conducting bodies, especially of imperfect conductors, under the action of acoustic vibrations.
- Intensity - n. - The magnitude of a distributed force, as pressure, stress, weight, etc., per unit of surface, or of volume, as the case may be; as, the measure of the intensity of a total stress of forty pounds which is distributed uniformly over a surface of four square inches area is ten pounds per square inch.
- Multiplier - n. - An instrument for multiplying or increasing by repetition or accumulation the intensity of a force or action, as heat or electricity. It is particularly used to render such a force or action appreciable or measurable when feeble. See Thermomultiplier.
- Bright's disease - - An affection of the kidneys, usually inflammatory in character, and distinguished by the occurrence of albumin and renal casts in the urine. Several varieties of Bright's disease are now recognized, differing in the part of the kidney involved, and in the intensity and course of the morbid process.
- Pyroscope - n. - An instrument for measuring the intensity of heat radiating from a fire, or the cooling influence of bodies. It is a differential thermometer, having one bulb coated with gold or silver leaf.
- Microphonics - n. - The science which treats of the means of increasing the intensity of low or weak sounds, or of the microphone.
- Reduce - n. - To bring to any inferior state, with respect to rank, size, quantity, quality, value, etc.; to diminish; to lower; to degrade; to impair; as, to reduce a sergeant to the ranks; to reduce a drawing; to reduce expenses; to reduce the intensity of heat.
- Photometer - n. - An instrument for measuring the intensity of light, or, more especially, for comparing the relative intensities of different lights, or their relative illuminating power.
- Subdue - v. t. - To reduce the intensity or degree of; to tone down; to soften; as, to subdue the brilliancy of colors.
- Rheometry - n. - The measurement of the force or intensity of currents.
- Dynactinometer - n. - An instrument for measuring the intensity of the photogenic (light-producing) rays, and computing the power of object glasses.
- Photometry - n. - That branch of science which treats of the measurement of the intensity of light.
- Galvanometer - n. - An instrument or apparatus for measuring the intensity of an electric current, usually by the deflection of a magnetic needle.

- G303 ἀνά - 303 ἀνά - ἈΝΆ - - aná - an-ah' - a primary preposition and adverb; properly, up; but (by extension) used (distributively) severally, or (locally) at (etc.):--and, apiece, by, each, every (man), in, through. In compounds (as a prefix) it often means (by implication) repetition, intensity, reversal, etc. - Preposition - greek
- G376 ἀνάπηρος - 376 ἀνάπηρος - ἈΝΆΠΗΡΟΣ - - anápēros - an-ap'-ay-ros - from ἀνά (in the sense of intensity) and (maimed); crippled:--maimed. - Adjective - greek
- G2596 κατά - 2596 κατά - ΚΑΤΆ - - katá - kat-ah' - a primary particle; (prepositionally) down (in place or time), in varied relations (according to the case (genitive, dative or accusative) with which it is joined):--about, according as (to), after, against, (when they were) X alone, among, and, X apart, (even, like) as (concerning, pertaining to touching), X aside, at, before, beyond, by, to the charge of, (charita-)bly, concerning, + covered, (dai-)ly, down, every, (+ far more) exceeding, X more excellent, for, from … to, godly, in(-asmuch, divers, every, -to, respect of), … by, after the manner of, + by any means, beyond (out of) measure, X mightily, more, X natural, of (up-)on (X part), out (of every), over against, (+ your) X own, + particularly, so, through(-oughout, -oughout every), thus, (un-)to(-gether, -ward), X uttermost, where(-by), with.
