質問: on his own terms my grandfather passed away three years ago. it was the first death in the family i’ve experienced. i was absolutely in bits when he died. he was very healthy all of my life until that point. he had an ongoing “flu” for a couple weeks that turned out to be cancer, and he passed within a month of letting all of the immediate family know about the diagnosis. he did not opt for treatment that would have lengthened his life, which i absolutely am grateful for. he passed on his own terms in his home. he passed on his own terms「自分が思うがままに死んだ」?でしょうか?どういうことでしょうか?よろしくお願いします
回答: >「自分が思うがままに死んだ」?でしょうか? ⇒ その通りだと思います。 "terms" には、「条件」という意味があり、 "on one's terms" で「その人の(設定した)条件通り」 "on one's own terms" で「その人のしたいように」転じて「その人の思うがままに」です。 [ご参考]: https://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=on+one%27s+terms
