DIDST ONES OWN VOLITION Meaning and
Definition
-
"Didst one's own volition" is an archaic phrase that combines the obsolete verb "didst" and the noun phrase "one's own volition" to convey a sense of personal agency and self-determination. The word "didst" is the second person singular past tense of the verb "do" in Middle English, used mainly in British English. It denotes an earlier form of the verb, equivalent to the modern "did."
"One's own volition" refers to the act of making a choice or decision autonomously, without external influence or compulsion. The term "volition" derives from Latin and implies one's will or intention.
Combining both elements, "didst one's own volition" suggests that the subject, typically an individual, acted of their own accord or free will, independently making choices or decisions based on their personal desires, preferences, or motivations. It highlights the self-directed nature of the actions performed.
The phrase is often used in literary or poetic contexts, especially when discussing historical or classical texts. While it may appear antiquated in modern usage, it conveys a sense of personal responsibility, initiative, and a degree of empowerment in taking one's own actions or decisions without outside interference.
