Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built from 'deeper' (comparative of 'deep', meaning more profound) and 'meaning' (sense or significance), so the overall sense 'a more profound or hidden significance' follows directly from the constituents. This is a common, cross-linguistic metaphorical mapping (depth = profundity) and would be readily inferable by a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Deeper meaning comes from the image of going down under a surface; deeper means lower and meaning is the idea, like diving under water to find something hidden. So it means the 'hidden' or more important idea that lies under the obvious.
