We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

From the Oxford English dictionary

Pronunciation: /ɒfˈsʌɪd /

(Of a player in some sports) occupying a position on the field where playing the ball or puck is not allowed, especially (in soccer) in the attacking half ahead of the ball and having fewer than two defenders nearer the goal line at the moment the ball is played:

[AS ADVERB]: the attacker looked offside by several yards
FIGURATIVE his radicalism caught him offside with the law
NOUN


1The fact or an instance of being offside in soccer, rugby, etc.
"the goal was disallowed for offside"
2 (usually the off side) British The side of a vehicle furthest from the kerb (in Britain, the right):
[AS MODIFIER]: the rear offside wheel
Compare with nearside. See also off side at off ( sense 1 of the noun).
2.1 The right side of a horse.




Note the lack of 's' at the end of 'offside'
It's not a plural, there are not multiple sides that a player can be off from. There is only loving one ok!?.

Please update your posting accordingly.

The country in South America is called Colombia.

A good way to remember this is to imagine Sofia Vergara saying it
