What 柢 means

A tree root, then a figurative basis. The 2nd-century CE Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, records the tree-root sense. In Chinese, 追根究柢 means trace a matter to its underlying cause; 深根固柢 means deeply rooted and firmly established.

Chinese 根柢 also means a root or basis. In Japanese, 根柢 means a basis and appears in constructions meaning “be founded on.”
