I don't known English well, so I might miss something.)

So, will I have to know the meaning "append" of "push_back" (as
opposed to "push_front" for "prepend"), and infer the meaning
from the context (List, Item)? Or from Stepanov's (and Musser's?)
popular (and standardized, so there...) wording?

That is to say, shouldn't there be an "onto" part or similar
in the Push_Back?
