Origin

Old English tēam 'team of draught animals', of Germanic origin; related to German Zaum 'bridle', also to teem¹ and tow¹, from an Indo-European root shared by Latin ducere 'to lead'.

The original Anglo-Saxon meaning of team was ‘the bearing of children’. From there it became ‘a brood of young animals’, and then ‘a set of draught animals working together’, which gave us the modern idea of a group of people or set of sports players in the 16th century. In the sense ‘to be full of’ teem (Old English) is linked to team, but teem (Middle English) as in ‘teeming with rain’ is a different word altogether, which comes from Old Norse tómr ‘empty’—the original sense was ‘to drain liquid from’, the same image as in ‘its pouring with rain’.

Rhymes

abeam, agleam, beam, blaspheme, bream, deem, deme, downstream, dream, esteem, extreme, gleam, hakim, kilim, meme, midstream, Nîmes, régime, scheme, scream, seam, seem, steam, stream, supreme, teem, theme, upstream

Origin Old English tēam 'team of draught animals', of Germanic origin; related to German Zaum 'bridle', also to teem¹ and tow¹, from an Indo-European root shared by Latin ducere 'to lead'. The original Anglo-Saxon meaning of team was ‘the bearing of children’. From there it became ‘a brood of young animals’, and then ‘a set of draught animals working together’, which gave us the modern idea of a group of people or set of sports players in the 16th century. In the sense ‘to be full of’ teem (Old English) is linked to team, but teem (Middle English) as in ‘teeming with rain’ is a different word altogether, which comes from Old Norse tómr ‘empty’—the original sense was ‘to drain liquid from’, the same image as in ‘its pouring with rain’.
