Morphology

tech + team

The meaning 'a group responsible for technology-related tasks' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'tech' (technology) with 'team' (a group of people). Although 'tech' is an informal clipping of 'technology', the noun+noun compositional pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the expression.

Etymology

Tech team comes from the word tech, short for 'technology', and team, meaning a group of people. Imagine people working together at computers to fix problems and make software, and that picture explains why it means 'a group in charge of technology tasks'.
