Morphology
‘Deep’ conveys intensity or extent, so a B1 learner who knows ‘deep’ and ‘kiss’ can infer an intense, prolonged or very passionate kiss. However, the specific sense of an open‑mouthed kiss with tongue insertion is a more specific, culturally labelled extension (akin to ‘French kiss’) that is not strictly predictable from the constituents alone, making the expression only partially transparent.
Etymology
Deep kiss comes from the image of a kiss where one person's tongue goes deep into the other's mouth. That's why it means 'an open-mouthed, very close kiss'.
