Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 团体 (tuán tǐ) for "group" or "organization" is composed of two characters: 团 (tuán) and 体 (tǐ). The character 团 originally meant "to gather together" or "to unite," and it is often used in the sense of "group" or "team." The character 体 originally meant "body" or "form," and it is often used in the sense of "system" or "organization." When combined, the two characters 团体 (tuán tǐ) take on the meaning of "group" or "organization," referring to a collection of individuals who are united for a common purpose or goal.
