so intent on going to Florida

[flowersa]

Hi, what is "intent on" in this context?

"And he was so intent on going to Florida—Florida!—that he was willing to leave
his daughter’s recital drive out to the airport ..."

 

[emsr2d2]

It means he was absolutely determined to go. Nothing would stop him. He was adamant he would go.

Look up the definition of "intent" as an adjective.

Hi Em I should have said that the dictionary wrote "Focus" and it didn't seem so logical to me, thanks ...

Which dictionary gave "focus" as the meaning of "intent" as an adjective?

Hi, it's an English-Hebrew one Morfix.co.il

Hi, it's an English-Hebrew one Morfix.co.il

If it's English-Hebrew, how come it used an English, rather than a Hebrew, word to define 'intent'?

Hi, If you enter to the page and write a word in English it will give you the meaning in Hebrew, or you can put a word in Hebrew and gets the meaning in English but that in many times won't help :up:

So it did not directly define 'intent' as focus then?

Hi it wrote in adv: Focused (sorry not only focus but in Hebrew) ?
