team
Players sharing goals
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 pairing: a team of horses, a team of oxen.
To team up is to join forces: She teamed up with her rival to win the competition.
As an adjective, team describes collective effort: team spirit, team player.
