Kanji 丸 round, full (month), perfection Related words 一致団結 is a four-character phrase for cohesive, cooperative unity often used in formal or motivational speech, while 一丸 is almost only used inside the fixed phrase 一丸となる to describe a group becoming one unified body.
団結 is a common standalone noun/verb meaning 'unity' or 'to unite', whereas 一丸 rarely stands alone and appears almost exclusively in the set phrase 一丸となる.
一丸 means uniting as one for a shared goal, while 一体 is broader and also covers adverbial 'generally' and counting statues.
Etymology Compound of 一 (one) and 丸 (round object, lump). The image is of many parts becoming a single round mass, symbolizing unity.
