Va'Yare'u Osanu ha'Mitzrim

וַיָּרֵעוּ אֹתָנוּ הַמִּצְרִים וַיְעַנּוּנוּ, וַיִתְּנוּ עָלֵינוּ עֲבֹדָה קָשָׁה. וַיָּרֵעוּ אֹתָנוּ הַמִּצְרִים - כְּמָה שֶּׁנֶּאֱמַר: הָבָה נִתְחַכְּמָה לוֹ, פֶּן יִרְבֶּה, וְהָיָה כִּי תִקְרֶאנָה מִלְחָמָה וְנוֹסַף גַּם הוּא עַל שֹׂנְאֵינוּ, וְנִלְחַם בָּנוּ וְעָלָה מִן הָאָרֶץ.

The Egyptians did bad to us, and afflicted us, and put upon us hard labor.

Chazal (Sotah 11a) interpret the name "Pisom" to mean that that the cities Bnei Yisrael built would gradually sink into the ground (Pi-Sehom Bole'o); or the name "Ra'amses" to mean 'collapse' (Misroses). Is there deeper meaning behind this?
