For example, in the Processes Suite of the System Events dictionary, the application class shows “process” as an element. However, the definition says it contains the element “processes”.

Each "process" object is a single element among all the processes currently running. The term "processes" appears in the dictionary under the heading "Processes" in the plural; this is alternative AppleScript terminology for 'every process'.

tell application "System Events"
get first process --> application process "loginwindow" of application "System Events"
get processes -> {application process "loginwindow" of application "System Events", application process "WacomTouchDriver" of application "System Events", application process "SystemUIServer" of application "System Events"}, etc.
end tell
