Morphology

deepener = deepen (transparent) = deep + en + er

Formed by adding the agent/result suffix '-er' to the verb 'deepen', itself transparently derived from 'deep' + '-en'.

Etymology

Deepener is made from the parts deep ('far down' or 'more intense'), -en ('to make'), and -er ('a thing that does'). So a deepener is simply something that 'makes deeper' or more intense, like a color or effect that makes a picture or style look richer.
