Is there a term for a set of adjectives that describe intensity, weight, value, size, and so on?

English Language & Usage Asked by CapsAdmin on February 28, 2021

Some examples:

  • size: micro, tiny, small, medium, large, huge, gigantic
  • temperature: freezing, cold, chilly, cool, warm, hot
  • brightness: dark, dim, light, bright
  • weight: light, heavy

What are these sets of adjectives called?

The reason I’m asking is because I sometimes find myself needing these when I’m programming. A website with a database of whatever this is would be very helpful.
