A useful way to feel this word is 'all the softness taken out'. Whatever it describes has had its mildness, gentleness or give removed and pushed toward the harsh extreme — a problem with no small side to it, weather with no let-up, a face with no smile. From that one feeling grow both the 'very intense / very serious' senses and the 'harsh and unyielding' senses.
抓這個字有一個好用的感覺：「把柔軟的部分全抽掉」。它形容的東西，溫和、緩和、留餘地的那一面被拿走了，整個推向最嚴酷的一端——一個沒有輕微可言的問題、一場毫不放鬆的天氣、一張不帶笑的臉。從這一個感覺，同時長出了「很強烈、很嚴重」和「嚴厲、不留情」兩條線。
