From the word’s history
Late Middle English, borrowed from Late Latin extensīvus, from Latin extensus.
借自晚期拉丁文 extensīvus，源自拉丁文 extensus。
Picture something that keeps going further than you expected — grounds that stretch past the treeline, damage that turns out to run through the whole building. The word is about reach. Point it at a report or a person's knowledge and the reach becomes how much ground the content covers.
