First, this is a fantastic way to learn, such a great exercise!
It's also fun to see the author ponder some of the older and now unused elements, speculating on their use, when "back in the day" they were thrilling to suddenly have access to.
That said, handcrafting HTML through every rev since Mosaic, I don't like MDN because of retcon changes like "description list". I prefer original spec, "definition list".
To me dl, dt, dd, makes more sense to think of as "definition list", with defined terms, and defined definitions.
OK, description is broader than definition, but for me, definition is easier to remember the list (dl) has terms (dt) and definitions (dd).
And W3 calls it "definition list":
