Morphology

deep-lobed = deep + lobed (transparent) = deep + lobe + ed

Clearly formed from the adjective 'deep' modifying 'lobed' (lobe + -ed), so the meaning is directly the expected combination: having lobes that are deep or pronounced.

Etymology

Deep-lobed is made from deep (meaning 'far down' or 'strong') and lobe, a word for a rounded part of something, as in earlobe. So deep-lobed describes a leaf or body part with lobes that are cut in deeply and look clearly divided.
