marshal generaln.

Brit.

/ˌmɑːʃl ˈdʒɛn(ə)rəl/, U.S.

/ˌmɑrʃəl ˈdʒɛn(ə)rəl/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: marshal n., general adj.

Etymology: < marshal n. + general adj. (compare sense 8a at that entry). Compare French maréchal général (1620 as mareschal general , although probably earlier: quot. 1608 at sense 1 refers to a French rank).

1. A senior officer in any of various armies, with exact rank varying according to period and country. Also with distinguishing word, as field marshal general, provost marshal general, etc. (see field marshal n., provost marshal general n.).In the Cromwellian army, the rank was directly superior to that of provost marshal. In the pre-revolutionary French army it was perhaps synonymous with the rank of field marshal or Maréchal de France. In the Portuguese army of the Napoleonic period the rank probably approximated to Commander-in-Chief.
