The simple-form character 团 (6 strokes) is an old form, re-used as an abbrev. of the full-form character ​ (14 strokes), replacing the full-form component ​ (11 strokes) with a shape like ​ (3 strokes).
    Note: The simple form 团 derives from an old intermediary form (团 ← ​ ← ​), replacing ​ with its lower part ​, later changed to ​ (​←​←​); cf. ​/​ (the usual simplification).
    The Shuōwén Seal form of ​(​􁃲) tuán ‘round (ball/lump)’ combines ​ (wéi) ‘surround/encircle’, and ​/​(​􀡿) zhuān ‘ceramic spindle; plumb bob’ (phonosemantic); formerly also wr. ​𡁴, and ​/​ (​团).
    Compare: ​/​(​􂇲) tuán ‘roll sth. up into balls’, formerly also wr. ​; ​/​ zhuān ‘fired mud/clay brick’; ​/​(​􂡹) zhuǎn ‘turn round’.
