Ross

I believe the answer is:

booth

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'general' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'stall' is the second definition.
(I know that stall can be written as booth)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for booth that I've seen before include "Killer of president" , "Kiosk" , "assassin in dramatic situation" , "Stall - Salvation Army founder" , "Market stall; small shop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
