1. Inward; internal; hence, true; genuine; real; essential;
inherent; not merely apparent or accidental; -- opposed to
{extrinsic}; as, the intrinsic value of gold or silver;
the intrinsic merit of an action; the intrinsic worth or
goodness of a person.
[1913 Webster]
He was better qualified than they to estimate justly
the intrinsic value of Grecian philosophy and
refinement. --I. Taylor.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Anat.) Included wholly within an organ or limb, as
certain groups of muscles; -- opposed to {extrinsic}.
[1913 Webster]
{Intrinsic energy of a body} (Physics), the work it can do in
virtue of its actual condition, without any supply of
energy from without.
{Intrinsic equation of a curve} (Geom.), the equation which
expresses the relation which the length of a curve,
measured from a given point of it, to a movable point, has
to the angle which the tangent to the curve at the movable
point makes with a fixed line.
{Intrinsic value}. See the Note under {Value}, n.
Syn: Inherent; innate; natural; real; genuine.
