'copied data source' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'installation wizard' is the wordplay.
'installation' becomes 'i' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'wizard' becomes 'mage' (mage can mean a wizard or magician).
'i'+'mage'='IMAGE'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for image that I've seen before include "sculpture" , "Idol; simile" , "Figure (of speech?)" , "External impression" , "Picture (involving one letter change from 10)" .)
