Adjective
- 1 Excessively intense.
"It is as much a crack as the one which is made in the glasa when an overintense charge breaks through the side of a Leyden jar. The only difference in the two cases is that the crack remains in the glass, but is immediately effaced in the fluid and movable substance of the air."
