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

Uhmmm, I'm certain? LOL

Okay then. I'll use it in a sentence today. :)

It sounds a little bit like AKA.     lol.

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

....it really has no meaning

Ducky

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. 

Ducky

Nor do I but I might if I can figure out what it means. :)

The question sounds like Alex Trebek asking a question .

Ducky asked, "What is the meaning of the expression"?
Your comment belongs in the blue section underneath the question, not here in the answer section.

That was the last time we link saw both Lu and this very specific, very special 5711. Lu was a memorable in-the-room link underbidder on the watch, which eventually sold to an unidentified online bidder based in New York for $6.5 million, all-in. Or so we link thought.

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.
