    intentions? English is not my first language but doesn’t “intention” mean that you plan to do something but haven’t yet?

      Intent comes from a root word meaning “to stretch,” which became metaphorically to stretch one’s mind in a particular direction.

      One can say “This is my intent, that was my intent, it’s my intent to continue with this, that was intended - all of those are my intentions, were my intentions and will be my intentions.”
