But also please note that 'intentionality' is ambiguous:

Intentionality is the feature that Brentano cited as the mark of the
mental, viz., the fact that mental acts (thinking, believing, etc.) are
always "directed" to an object, whether or not that object exists or is
true.

Intentionality also refers to the feature of certain physical acts that
we do them intentionally, i.e., we mean to do them rather than doing
them by accident.

Obviously, there are etymological connections here.

Note, too, that it is often claimed that intentionality in the Brentano
sense is strongly related to intensionality.
