[Middle English entencioun, from Old French intention, from Latin intentiō, intentiōn-, from intentus, intent from past participle of intendere, to direct attention. See intend.]

Synonyms: intention, intent, purpose, goal, end, aim, object, objective. These nouns refer to what one intends to do or achieve. Intention simply signifies a course of action that one proposes to follow: It is not my intention to argue with you. Intent more strongly implies deliberateness: The executor tried to comply with the intent of the testator. Purpose strengthens the idea of resolution or determination: "His purpose was to discover how long these guests intended to stay" (Joseph Conrad). Goal may suggest an idealistic or even a remote purpose: "Black Power . . . is a call for black people to begin to define their own goals" (Stokely Carmichael and Charles V. Hamilton). End suggests a long-range goal: It has been said that the end justifies the means. Aim stresses the direction one's efforts take in pursuit of an end: The aim of every performing artist is to achieve perfection of execution. An object is an end that one tries to carry out: "The chief object of the English was to establish . . . a great empire on the Continent" (Macaulay). Objective often implies that the end or goal can be reached: "A major objective[of political liberalism]is the protection of the economic weak" (Wayne Morse).
