Origin

Middle English entend (in the sense 'direct the attention to'), from Old French entendre, from Latin intendere 'intend, extend, direct', from in- 'towards' + tendere 'stretch, tend'.

The early spelling was entend which meant ‘direct the attention to’, from Old French entendre from Latin intendere ‘intend, extend, direct’, literally ‘stretch towards’. Intense (Late Middle English) comes from a past form of the Latin, and superintendent (mid 16th century) is from Latin superintendere ‘to oversee’.
