Pedantry Rules

Well, in fact those are termed operators, not operands
The operands are the things supplied to the operators ie the things operated on. So in this case the operands are the select statements or subqueries
But yes, it's hard to find stuff like that in the docs
pedanticism is my middle name, kinda

AndyP is correct
http://docs.oracle.com/html/A85397_01/operator.htm Contextually, I'd considered the INSERT to be the outer operator (as in "the records on which the SELECT operates"), and the THE (sic) clause to be an operand -- which consists of an inner operator (THE) and its operand (the inner SELECT).
