It is a well-known fact that English is heavily idiomatic. The phenomenon of vast idiomatic basis of the English language is rather explanatory.

What does this phenomenon explain?

This sentance does not make sense to me.

Leaving out the words "the phenomenon" still does not help much as it is no clearer what the explanation for the idiomatic basis of the English language is.
