Hmmm... Well... sort of, but not quite. While a team is a collective, it's a very specific usage, i.e. 'working' rather than just several of them. I'll give half a point for it though.

Also good guesses, but not any that are close.

I'll give a hint for this one because it's so strange; the word begins with the letter 'o'
