About
The character "队", with its traditional form "隊", etymologically combines the radical "阝", derived from "阜" indicating a mound or elevation, with the component "㒸" associated with falling, originally conveying the action of descending from a height. Its meaning transitioned from this literal sense to refer to a group of people, likely originating from military contexts where units were described in terms of their formation or collective movement, and later broadening to denote any organized team or squad. The simplified structure "队" replaces the complex "㒸" with "人" meaning person, thereby aligning the character's form with its contemporary semantic focus on human collectives while maintaining a visual link to its historical roots through the retained radical.
