Doting on gold, basically (2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

au fond

'basically' is the definition.
('au fond' can be a synonym of 'basically')

'doting on gold' is the wordplay.
'doting' becomes 'fond' ('fond' can be a synonym of 'doting').
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'gold' becomes 'au' ('Au' can be a synonym of 'gold').
'fond' after 'au' is 'AU FOND'.
