Refers to a value added to a base address to produce a second address. For example, if B represents address 100, then the expression,

B+5

would signify the address 105. The 5 in the expression is the offset.

Specifying addresses using an offset is called relative addressing because the resulting address is relative to some other point. Another word for offset is displacement.
