by one's lights
Language: English
Part of speech: prep_phrase
Etymology: Chiefly by the metaphor of lights as sources of illumination (e.g., lamps, lanterns, candles, torches) (thus, how something looks depends on the quality and quantity of the available light), but the sense of light as sightedness or vision is cognitively adjacent, setting up an interpretation of lights as referring to the eyes themselves (compare in my view); the potentially variable figurativeness behind punch someone's lights out is comparable here.
Senses: examples: text: Once you allow yourself and you open the door to letting outside pressures of any kind influence or dictate — especially dictate — your decisions, then it’s over. Therein lies madness. Because my oath requires fidelity to the Constitution and to decide these cases by my best lights.
