Unusually deep friend suggests it's been determined in advance (10)
I believe the answer is:
predefined
'it's been determined in advance' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'unusually deep friend' is the wordplay.
'unusually' indicates anagramming the letters.
'deep'+'friend'='deepfriend'
'deepfriend' anagrammed gives 'PREDEFINED'.
'suggests' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
