What exactly is a Definition in the context of Document Flow?

This website uses the word "Definition" but never defines it:

Document flow is the arrangement of page elements, as defined by CSS positioning statements, and the order of HTML elements. this is to say, how each Definition takes up space and how other elements position themselves accordingly.

I need the literal words that I can replace the word "Definition" with in this sentence, and the sentence would still be saying the same thing.

They mean "element". I’m not sure why they used the word "definition" there… poor copy editing, I suppose. MDN has a more comprehensive explanation on this (and for any HTML or CSS-related topic) if you are interested in learning more:
