deep
Not at all shallow
Deep most typically refers to a vertical dimension extending downwards: Dig a hole ten feet deep.
Something that’s literally deep has an appreciable downward or inward dimension: It was a deep flesh wound.
Figuratively, deep has a meaning similar to profound, as in deep emotions or a deep thinker.
If you find something too deep, it’s too difficult to comprehend.
The deep usually refers to deep parts of the ocean.
