on trial for one's life[edit]

what meaning is used in on trial for one's life --Backinstadiums (talk) 21:16, 6 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps for Conjunction sense 12? Equinox 21:21, 6 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Equinox: So the meaning of the prepositon FOR is different from the one in on trial for murder, which indicates that the charge is murdering; am I right? --Backinstadiums (talk) 23:04, 6 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Backinstadiums Yes. You're on trial for (because of) murder. Equinox 09:53, 14 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
