ball
🥟 团 = 囗 (enclosure) + 才 (talent) — a group gathered together
团 means group, ball, or lump (as in 团子 dumpling, 集团 corporation). As a measure word it counts round/clustered things: 一团火 a ball of fire, 一团毛线 a ball of yarn.
团 — enclosure 囗 + 才 (phonetic/abbreviated 專)
Originally written 團, showing an enclosure 囗 around 專 (a spindle) suggesting something wound into a round shape. The character came to mean 'round,' 'lump,' or 'group.' The simplified form 团 keeps the enclosure 囗 but replaces the inner element with 才 for ease of writing.
