Taking place away from the main location or facility. Commonly used in business to describe activities, storage, or events happening at a different location from the primary workplace.
Compound word combining 'off' (away from) and 'site' (place, location). Emerged in mid-20th century business and military terminology as organizations became more geographically distributed and needed to distinguish remote activities.
This modern compound perfectly captures how the digital age has changed our relationship with place and work. What started as a technical term for backup storage has evolved to describe the new reality of remote work, showing how language adapts to technological change.
