Definition
阵容 (zhèn róng) refers to the lineup or composition of a group — who is in it, especially a sports team or a film cast. It differs from 队伍 (duì wu, a troop or queue as a collective), 行列 (háng liè, a literal row or figurative ranks), and 队形 (duì xíng, the physical formation/shape). Use 阵容 when highlighting the strength or star power of the members.
