: Actually, you don't need the word "deep" because it is already implied. Ther word "etching" also applies.

Answer
To answer your question, it's exactly like the difference between "engraving" and "deep engraving" in English. According to the Arabic phrase, I would leave the word "deep" as it is. The word "deep" gives a stonger meaning than just "engraving" alone and it corresponds also to the original meaning.
