Extense

/ɪkˈstɛns/ adjective

Definition

Extended in space; having considerable extent or area; spread out broadly.

Etymology

From Latin extensus, the past participle of extendere (to stretch out). This form is less common than 'extended' but carries the same root meaning.

Kelly Says

This is one of those Latin-derived English words that sounds more formal or philosophical—you might encounter it in older texts or academic writing about the nature of space and matter!
