Morphology

deeply = deep (transparent) = deep + ly

Standard adverb formation from the adjective 'deep' with '-ly'; the literal meaning 'to a great depth' is directly derived.

Etymology

Deeply comes from the adjective deep ('far down') plus the adverb ending -ly, so it literally means 'to a great depth'. Think of a well or the ocean going far below the surface to remember the physical sense.
