III. adverb Date: before 12th century about ,

2. in some degree ; somewhat , to some degree or extent ; a little , c. — used as a mild intensive
Usage: When some is used to modify a number, it is almost always a round number but because some is slightly more emphatic than about or approximately it is occasionally used with a more exact number in an intensive function . When some is used without a number, most commentators feel that somewhat is to be preferred. Their advice is an oversimplification, however; only when some modifies an adjective , usually a comparative, will somewhat always substitute smoothly. When some modifies a verb or adverb , and especially when it follows a verb , substitution of somewhat may prove awkward .
