what does source mean?

when i was gonna answer a question earlier it said below one of the answers know youre sorce what does that mean

Answers:
ahhhh... that must be why a lot of people don't put their sources in.

when you copy something from a book, or article,, the book or article is where you got it... so.. if I put.. "this gets curiouser and curiouser",, then I have to put "Alice in Wonderland" as my source. Or if my doctor told me all about ingrown toenails and I repeat that as my answer to a question about ingrown toenails,, my source is 'my doctor'. If I had a problem that I worked on and worked on and figured it out myself,, I might put my source as 'experience'.
I hope this helps.
