camp, battle array, ranks, position

About this kanji

The kanji 「陣」 primarily means a camp or battle formation, often referring to a strategic position in military contexts. It is typically used as a noun rather than a verb. You can find it in compounds like 「陣営」 (じんえい), meaning a camp or the supporters of a certain cause, and 「出陣」 (しゅつじん), which translates to going into battle. Another example is 「退陣」 (たいじん), meaning resignation, often used in political contexts. A useful note is that while it has military connotations, it can also apply to various organized groups or movements in other areas.

Example sentences

• 彼らは戦の陣を作った。

  They formed a battle array.
