Morphology
deep-dive + analysis
The phrase combines 'deep' (having great depth) and 'dive' (to plunge) with 'analysis', so the metaphor 'to dive deeply into a topic' straightforwardly signals a thorough examination. This compositional, cross-linguistically common metaphor is readily inferable by a B1 learner who knows the constituent words, making the meaning transparent.
Etymology
The compound deep-dive analysis comes from the image of a diver going deep under the water to look for hidden details. Deep-dive means going well below the surface and analysis means a careful look, so the phrase means 'a very thorough examination'.
