A set is made up of elements
Within a set, we can have a group of elements that form a sub set
So, a subset is a part of a whole set. In ordinary language, we can say that a subset is like a "fraction" of the whole set.
An element in a single entry in a set or a subset. So, if we take an element like a whole in itself, it can not be a "fraction" of itself.
That's why we say "an element of a set can never be a subset of itself"
