基き本ほん的てき
基本的 is the most common word for 'basic' or 'fundamental' in everyday contexts. 根源的 is more formal and philosophical.

根こん源げん的てき
Standard spelling. 根源 means 'root/source', and 的 makes it an adjectival noun.
根こん元げん的てき
Variant spelling using 元 (origin) instead of 源 (source). Less common but acceptable.

From 根源 (root, source) + 的 (suffix forming adjectival nouns). The kanji 根 means 'root', 源 means 'source', and 元 means 'origin'.
