Team
Players working together
A team is a group working together toward a common goal.
Sports teams compete as units; work teams collaborate on projects.
The word extends to any coordinated group: a team of horses, a legal team.
To team up is to join forces: They teamed up to solve the problem.
As an adjective, team describes collective effort: team spirit, team player.
