complex
🏘️ 団 = group + 地 = land: land where many homes are grouped together
The 団 here means a group, as in 団体 (organization). Danchi names the large apartment blocks built in postwar Japan.
地 — earth 土 + 也 (phonetic)
地 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The left component 土 means 'earth' or 'soil' and gives the meaning, while 也 on the right hints at the pronunciation. Originally referring to the ground or land, it broadened to mean 'place,' 'region,' and 'territory.'
