Search in the dictionaries and Concise Oxford, Webster Century is in vain. The contex would give to one knowing its Greek roots the meaning "deep sea enthusiast". Then why not use that adjective? But "bathysophical" requires some mental conjuring. And then you are uncertain...

The genius of the family, Theodore F. Powys, appears in the journal, now plunged in abysmal moroseness, now making...
Body changes are more spectacular. A door will be fitted for the first time next to the driver in the roadster and touring model. The Tudor (two door "coach") and the Fordor (four door sedan) will blossom respectively into "deep channel green" and "rich Windsor maroon." Heretofore all Fords have been black. All but these two models will remain so. Other "radical improvements" are: (1) inch larger steering-wheels on all models; (2) seats 4 inches closer to the ground and more ^ reclining; (3) radiators⅝ of an inch higher, and nickeled in closed models; (4) gas tanks under cowl...
