Past tense of team; formed a group or partnership with others to work together toward a common goal.
From Old English 'team' meaning family, brood, or set of draught animals, from Germanic root meaning to draw or pull. The sense of people working together developed from the idea of animals pulling together in harness.
The evolution of 'team' from referring to animals yoked together to humans working together reflects humanity's agricultural origins - successful farming required both oxen and people to coordinate their efforts. Modern team dynamics research shows that psychological safety is more important for team performance than individual talent levels.
