'basically' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'articles with illustrations' is the wordplay.
'articles' becomes 'a the' ('a' and 'the', indefinite and definite articles).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'illustrations' becomes 'art' (I've seen this in another clue).
'athe'+'art'='ATHEART'
