You've omitted the definition on the lower part of the page: quite adverb, predeterminer "a little or a lot but not completely:" I'm quite tired but I can certainly walk a little further. There was quite a lot of traffic today but yesterday was even busier. It was quite a difficult job. He's quite attractive but not what I'd call gorgeous. It would be quite a nuisance to write to everyone. The same dictionary also includes a grammar article clarifying that quite [usually] means "a little, moderately, not very", when the adjective or adverb it modifies is gradable (e.g "good" or indeed "difficult") and it being an intensifier in [generally rarer] situations where the adjective or adverb isn't (e.g "it is quite wrong to say that 'quite' invariably means 'exactly') https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/quite https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/qui...
