Etymology

The term 'offed' is derived from the verb 'off,' which has been used in English slang since at least the mid-20th century. 'Off' can originate from older English uses of the word linked to removing, ceasing, or finishing something. It gained popularity in the context of murder or assassination around the late 1960s and 1970s in American slang, particularly in underworld contexts and media portrayals. Over time, it seeped into mainstream usage, often appearing casually in dialogues or scripts, reinforcing the cultural viewpoint of violence as both an entertainment element and an undercurrent in societal issues. The flexibility of 'off' in terms of usage has contributed to the evolution of its derivatives, like 'offed,' further embedding it in contemporary vernacular.
