Definition
将军 primarily means 'general' — a high-ranking military officer. It is a compound noun (将+军) and is not separable. Be aware that the same word is also used as a verb in chess, meaning 'to check' (将军！), and figuratively 'to put someone on the spot' (他将军了我). This entry covers only the noun sense; the other usages share the same hanzi but function as verbs.
