The word 乐队 is formed through the direct, ideographic combination of its two component characters. The first character, 乐 (yuè), carries the core meaning of "music". The second character, 队 (duì), signifies an organized "team" or "group". When placed together, they do not create a grammatical phrase but fuse into a single conceptual unit; the meaning of "music" is seamlessly integrated with the concept of a "group", visually and semantically synthesizing to define a specific entity: a musical ensemble or band.
