Surface Forms

deepness singular
deepnesses plural

Morphology

deepness = deep (semi-transparent) = deep + ness

Although built from 'deep' + '-ness', the meaning 'intellectual profundity' is metaphorical and may not be directly inferable by all learners.

Etymology

Deepness comes from deep ('far down or inward') plus -ness ('the quality of') and is the same root as depth; think of the ocean's layers to remember that the deepness of an idea means it goes below the surface and shows strong, careful understanding.
