將

Glyph origin
– to offer meat as tribute by putting it on the table.

The component is on its side, hence resembles  with an added dot; compare,.

Shuowen erroneously considers the phonetic component of to be  (abbreviated).

Etymology
A conflation of two roots: “to take; to hold” and “will; be going to; near”.

 * “to take; to hold” (Pronunciations 1, 2 and 3)
 * : compare 🇨🇬.

 * “will; be going to; near” (Pronunciation 1)
 * : compare 🇨🇬 < 🇨🇬. Cognate with.

 * anteposed object introductory particle
 * notes that 將 as well as several other particles like and  could in Early Classical Chinese topicalize a noun phrase, including predicate objects who are recapitulated with the verb by the pronoun, leading effectively to a construction in the form of "將 O 是 V" ("to V O"), which he notes is superficially similar to the later colloquial usage of 將 and 把.

Definitions

 * 1) (historical) a living person who represents the dead person during a rite
 * 2) dead body

Kanji

 * 1) corpse; cadaver

Etymology 1
Most likely from the initial of. Other, but less likely, hypotheses include that it was a graphic abbreviation of some other character with initial (but no such character has been easily identified), or that it was invented in Korea (but there would appear to be no motivation for this, given the commonness of  in all stages of Chinese).

Usage notes
Note that Old Korean distinguished liquid and rhotic, though the two merged in Middle Korean.

Suffix

 * 1) what will, one who will, what to, what is, one who is, etc.;
 * 2) which will, [something] to, which is, etc.;
 * 1) which will, [something] to, which is, etc.;
 * 1) which will, [something] to, which is, etc.;
 * 1) which will, [something] to, which is, etc.;

Usage notes
There is a strong argument that represents an allomorphic variant of the well-known genitive particle  rather than an independent genitive case marker. 🇨🇬 and Modern 🇨🇬 both have the effect of tensing a subsequent consonant. Tensing was also one of the major allomorphs of 🇨🇬, see ㅅ, and is virtually the sole effect of Modern 🇨🇬. Therefore, Old Korean was most likely used to denote the tensing effect of.

This notion is further supported by the fact that 🇨🇬 is the regular reflex of. For instance, 🇨🇬 > 🇨🇬 > Modern 🇨🇬
