This could be a double definition.

'a diver's source' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'inspiration?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
