Morphology

deepish = deep (transparent) = deep + ish

Standard formation: 'deep' + '-ish' yields a moderate or approximate degree of depth.

Etymology

Deepish comes from deep and the ending -ish, meaning 'somewhat' or 'kind of', as in bluish. So a deepish river or bowl is moderately deep — not shallow, but not very deep.
