Etymology & Components

The Chinese word "队员" (duìyuán) is a compound word consisting of two characters: "队" (duì) and "员" (yuán). The character "队" originally meant "a row" or "a line", but it has evolved to mean "a team" or "a group". The character "员" originally meant "a person" or "an individual", but it has evolved to mean "a member" or "a staff member". Therefore, the word "队员" literally means "a member of a team" or "a team member". It is commonly used to refer to athletes, soldiers, or other members of a group who work together towards a common goal.
