Morphology

offseason = off + season (transparent) = off + season

Meaning is directly derived from the clear combination of 'off' + 'season' (i.e., not during the regular season).

Etymology

The word offseason comes from off ('away from') and season ('a period of the year'). So, when something is offseason it happens 'away from' the usual busy time, for example an athlete training when games are stopped.
