About

The word "军队" is formed by combining the character "军", which means "military" and is composed of "冖" (shelter) over "车" (chariot), historically representing a military camp with vehicles, and "队", which means "team" and is composed of "阝" (mound) and "人" (person), originally denoting a group of people. Together, they semantically create a compound meaning "army" or "military forces".
