From off + springing.

    • 1875, Sir Samuel Wilks, Walter Moxon, Lectures on Pathological Anatomy, page 648:
      [] such tumours arise almost always from bone, and we see in the bony development an evidence of the continuance of the nature of the mother tissue into the nature of the offspringing tumour.
