Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is of one’s own (free) will and it’s meaning is “of one’s own accord, of one’s own volition, of one’s own choosing, by one’s own preference; voluntarily, willingly, readily, freely”.
Example Sentence: In history and fiction, women have always been confined within circumscribed spaces. Lines have been drawn around them, beyond which they have been told they must not cross — boundaries of gender, class, caste, sexuality, language, and more. When they have crossed boundaries, either by being pulled over or of their own will, it has led to feuds and wars.
