      Cb is correct it means , e.g. The necktie was not in or of itself responsible for the strangulation. I think it's what's know as an old English adverb.

        Good explanation.

        It means one particular thing without allowing any room or question for something else to be the cause.

            ....the individual words do not contribute to the meaning of the phrase 


            ....it really has no meaning

              So, it's just another "having said that"?
              Or, here's another one. "Be that as it may".

              No outside influence. 'in and of itself'  also 'that's the way it is'  'intrinsic- itself'.... I think!  I never use the term.

                  Your comment belongs in the blue section underneath the question, not here in the answer section.

                  Children liked it. Pretty colors! Teenagers liked it. Cool link but not too serious! Old people liked it. Oh wait that's me who liked it for all link those reasons plus obviously the diamonds which we will link get to later.
