The simple-form character 团 (6 strokes) is an old form, re-used as an abbrev. of the full-form character 團 (14 strokes), replacing the full-form component 專 (11 strokes) with a shape like 才 (3 strokes).
Note: The simple form 团 derives from an old intermediary form (团 ← 団 ← 團), replacing 專 with its lower part 寸, later changed to 才 (才←寸←專); cf. 专/專 (the usual simplification).
The Shuōwén Seal form of 團() tuán ‘round (ball/lump)’ combines 囗 (wéi) ‘surround/encircle’, and 专/專() zhuān ‘ceramic spindle; plumb bob’ (phonosemantic); formerly also wr. 𡁴, and 糰/䊜 (汤团).
Compare: 抟/摶() tuán ‘roll sth. up into balls’, formerly also wr. 團; 砖/磚 zhuān ‘fired mud/clay brick’; 转/轉() zhuǎn ‘turn round’.
HDZ: 团 : qiú : (音 “囚”) (义阙) (cf. 球) • tuán : (简体) 團
