A: Same meaning, but a few differences regarding the usage.
INTENTION - Can only be a noun. - Countable. - Normally used within casual/informal contexts.
INTENT - Can be both an adjective and a noun. - Uncountable. - Normally used in more formal situations.
In most cases, you can use them interchangeably:
"It was my intent to go there." ✅ "It was my intention to go there " ✅ Same meaning.
But there are cases in which replacing one for another would be incorrect:
"I've got many intentions." ✅ "I've got many intents." ❌ In this case, using "intent" would be incorrect because it's not a countable noun. You can't have *many* intents.
"My eyes were suddenly intent." ✅ "My eyes were suddenly intention." ❌ In this case, using "intention" would be incorrect because it can't be used as an adjective. If you say that something is *intent*, you're saying that it's showing strong interest and attention.
Basically, that's it. Hope this helps!
