Morphology
The meaning 'to have a strong emotional impact' is directly and compositionally derived from 'resonate' (to be felt or strike a chord) combined with the intensifying adverb 'deeply' (with strong feeling). This verb+adverb intensification pattern is a common and cross-linguistically transparent construction, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Resonate deeply comes from the idea of a sound that keeps vibrating inside you. Imagine a low note you can feel in your chest, and that picture helps explain why resonate + deeply now means 'to have a strong emotional impact' or 'to feel very important'.
