Well the original meaning is the Ancient Chinese form of torture. But the term I think your referring to is the old saying. I'll give you an example ,when a person in business talks about death by a thousand cuts, he or she typically means that something is slowly being destroyed rather than being destroyed all at once.

Hope this helped!
