Sefer Yehoshua chapter one verse 13 reads:

זָכוֹר֙ אֶת־הַדָּבָ֔ר אֲשֶׁ֨ר צִוָּ֥ה אֶתְכֶ֛ם מֹשֶׁ֥ה עֶֽבֶד־יְהוָ֖ה לֵאמֹ֑ר יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם֙ מֵנִ֣יחַ לָכֶ֔ם וְנָתַ֥ן לָכֶ֖ם אֶת־הָאָ֥רֶץ הַזֹּֽאת

זכור.מקור.

What does he mean by מקור?

Edit: All classic rabinic uses or similarities to this word make no sense in this context. Source. Womb. Passive version of cold?! Everything seems patently wrong. I even checked Radak's own Seffer Hashorashim to see if he gave the word any special meaning. No luck.
