Business Services vs Application Service? How is the relationship?

[Suggy]

How is the relationship read?

Business Application Consumes Application Service?

or

Business Application Consumed By Application Service?

Per my understanding, Business Applications make up an Application service. So it should be like 'Business Application Consumed By Application Service' but above diagram is showing other way.

In development environments, application services represent instances of a business application or system in different types of development environments, like development, test, or production.

How confusing this is. One thing I know for sure is that all this contributes to creating a successful business. Services, applications, and everything else are part of a successful business. It makes no sense to deny it because every self-respecting business person knows it. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and there is still much more to know for experienced or novice business people. I've been running my business for 10 years now, but there are still things I don't know about. Every day something new comes out.
