An individual element is simply an instance of a class.

No, the array is not "an element"; the array is a collection of elements. (Look in the Login Items Suite: the application has "Elements" consisting of (only) "login items" -- if your argument held, that should say "Element".)

Being too literal, perhaps. The list of elements at the bottom is listing the element collections. They are what you add and remove individual elements from. The table is showing what each element is.
tell yyy to make new XXX at end of XXXes
That makes a new XXX element in yyy's collection of elements XXXes.
