团聚
tuán jù · HSK 7
to have a reunion
👨👩👧👦 团 (group/round) + 聚 (gather) = the whole group gathers back together
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.
聚 — 取 (qǔ) phonetic + 乑 (yín, crowd of people)
聚 originally depicted a gathering of people, with 乑 showing three figures standing together to suggest a crowd. The component 取 (to take) provides the phonetic clue for the reading jù. Over time the meaning broadened from 'assembling people' to any kind of gathering, collecting, or amassing.
