A team is a group of people who work together toward a shared goal, such as in sports, school projects, or at work. Team members usually have different roles that support each other.
It comes from Old English 'tēam' meaning 'family, line, or group of draft animals', related to a root meaning 'to pull or draw'. Originally, it referred to animals harnessed together to pull something.
The original 'team' was literally a set of animals tied together pulling the same load, which is a great image for teamwork. In healthy teams, people don’t all do the same thing—they pull in the same direction with different strengths.
