Etymology
The word traces back to Latin intentio, itself from intendere, meaning to stretch toward or aim at. Romanian borrowed the noun as intenție (intention), largely through French influence, and formed the verb intenționa (to intend) from it. Intenționat is the past participle of that verb, functioning as both an adjective and an adverb, much like French intentionné.
