deep-felt
From the core
Deep-felt describes emotions or sentiments that are genuine and profoundly experienced, not superficial or performed.
It emphasizes sincerity and intensity: a deep-felt apology, deep-felt gratitude for their support.
The word appears most often in formal or literary contexts where heartfelt might sound too casual.
