Noun pluralteamings

2 meanings of teaming

1
verb
Present participle of team.
The two firms are teaming on a joint product line this year.
Teaming across departments improved the outcome of the launch.
Note
One spelling serves both the progressive verb (the firms are teaming) and the gerund (teaming across departments helps). It carries every use of team: forming a group, going well together, hauling goods with a team, and giving work to a gang under a subcontractor. Watch the near-homophone. A place crowded with life is teeming, with a double e, and writing teaming there is a misspelling.
2
nouncountable
An occasion of people cooperating as a single unit toward a shared goal; a single act of teamwork.
The teaming between the two departments produced excellent results.
A quick teaming of volunteers cleared the debris within a few hours.
Similarcollaboration, partnership, cooperation
Note
A countable noun that names one particular combination of people. It takes a plural, teamings, which teamwork does not. Frank Northen Magill's Magill's American film guide (1983) uses it for screen partnerships, finding genuine warmth in the Oland-Luke and Toler-Sen Yung teamings. That is where it fits best: the word points to the specific pair or group judged as a unit, while teamwork describes the quality of their cooperation.
