The word 强度 is a typical Chinese compound noun formed through a modifier-head (or determinative) morphological structure, where the first character 强 (qiáng, meaning "strong" or "intense") acts as an adjective-like modifier that describes the inherent quality, and the second character 度 (dù, meaning "degree" or "magnitude") functions as the head noun indicating a measurable property. Combined, they create a meaning of "the degree of strength or intensity", such as tensile strength (拉力强度) or work intensity (工作强度). This pattern is highly productive in Chinese, analogous to English suffixes like "-ness" or "-ity" (e.g., "intensity"), but using independent meaning-carrying characters.
