tenperson

Tenperson is an English compound term used to denote a group, team, or assembly composed of ten people. It appears in both adjectival and nominal forms (often hyphenated as ten-person) and is applied across organizational, recreational, and logistical contexts to describe membership size, capacity limits, or format requirements.

The term is frequently used in event planning and hospitality to indicate seating or reservation sizes, in workplace settings to define team composition for projects, and in sports or games where rules or formats call for ten participants. In administrative and legal contexts, specifying a tenperson structure can affect decision-making protocols, quorum calculations, and resource allocations.

Variants in spelling and punctuation (tenperson, ten-person, ten person) occur depending on style guides and regional preferences. The choice between a single word and a hyphenated form often reflects whether the term functions as a compound modifier (a ten-person committee) or a standalone noun (a committee of ten people).

As a neutral descriptor, tenperson carries no inherent connotations beyond numerical membership. It may also appear as a username or brand name in digital spaces, where its literal meaning is secondary to identity. Related terms include other numeric compounds such as five-person and twelve-person, which serve similar classificatory roles for groups of different sizes.
