Original text - English - He was a dominant figure in his own right.

Hi mihailocvetanovic.

Do you mean "dominant" or "domineering"?

dominant

OK.

Hi lilly,

Could you please give me some synonym for 'in his own right'? Or could you just explain the meaning of it?

Thanks!

'in his own right' = by reason of his own ability
