Morphology

deep + resonance

The meaning 'a strong emotional connection or impact' is directly derivable from combining 'deep' (very strong/intense) with 'resonance' (emotional or ideational harmony/echo). This is a straightforward compositional metaphor that follows common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand the expression.

Etymology

Deep resonance may come from the image of a sound that goes deep into a cave or room and keeps resonance, like a long echo that you can still feel. So, when something has deep resonance, it makes a 'strong emotional connection' or 'impact' that stays with you.
