Forms: Middle English–1600s intrinsique, (Middle English intrynsique), 1500s intrynsyke, 1600s intrinsike, intrinsicke, intrinseque, intrinsec(k, 1600s–1700s intrinsick, 1600s– intrinsic.

Etymology: < French intrinsèque (13–14th cent. in Godefroy Compl.), < medieval Scholastic Latin intrinsecus adjective (Fr. Mayron a1325; Herveus Natalis a1322 has an adverb intrinsece : Prantl), < Latin intrinsecus (adverb) inwardly, inwards. The ending was from the beginning confounded with the adjectival suffix -ic suffix, but the etymological -eque , -ec(k occurs in 17th cent. Compare extrinsic adj., to which this is in all senses opposed.
