camp, battle array, ranks, position, sudden, brief time
陣 centers on an organized arrangement of people or things in a fixed place: a military camp or battle formation, and by extension any positioned group or a sudden, brief period when something is arrayed.
陣 combines ⻖ (mound, hill) with 車 (vehicle, chariot), suggesting chariots arranged on a hill or earthen fortification to form a battle camp or formation.
The left side ⻖ looks like a hill or earthen wall, and the right side 車 is a vehicle. Picture chariots lined up on a hill to form a battle camp: that's 陣.
For ジン, imagine a genie (ジン) appearing from a lamp and instantly arranging a battle camp on the hill: genie -> ジン.
