The Chinese word 队伍 (duìwǔ) means "team", "troop", or "line". It is composed of two characters: 队 (duì), which means "team", "group", or "line", and 伍 (wǔ), which means "five". The character 伍 originally referred to a group of five soldiers in ancient China, and it later came to be used more generally to refer to any group of people. The character 队 is a later addition to the Chinese language, and it is thought to have been derived from the character 伍. The word 队伍 is therefore a compound word that combines the meanings of "team" and "five". It is a commonly used word in modern Chinese, and it can be found in a variety of contexts.
