Explanation

In Australian and British English, an 'offsider' refers to an assistant, deputy, or right-hand person. The term comes from farming where an offsider would walk beside a team of animals. While the word 'side' appears in sports contexts, in this usage it specifically means assistant or colleague, not a sports reference.
