Morphology

deepish = deep (transparent) = deep + ish

The suffix '-ish' is commonly used to indicate a degree of the adjective, making the meaning clear.

Etymology

Deepish comes from deep plus the ending -ish, which means 'kind of' or 'somewhat', as in bluish or greenish. So a deepish blue or a deepish voice is clearly deep but not very deep.
