It is so important for you all to realise that the best proof Sue can offer for a ’source’ meaning

Mark,
The best proof is in the scriptures themselves – the passages under question. In 1 Co 11 the context is about “origin” and in Eph 5 the context is also “origin” (where Paul quotes Gen 2 which is the reason why a man leaves his father and mother being that the woman was taken out of man). Looks like “source of life” is pretty close and that was the last way that Paul used the term in Eph 4. All you have for Eph 5 is what the wife does (“submit”). And for 1 Co 11, you have nothing at all. Why is that? So contextual support is key.
