"Offstage" is a combination of two words: "off" and "stage." The word "off" indicates separation or distance, while "stage" refers to the raised platform where performers act. The term "offstage" emerged in the 18th century, during the rise of modern theater, as a way to describe the areas surrounding the stage where actors could wait, change costumes, or prepare for their entrances. It evolved to encompass all spaces behind the visible stage area. Essentially, "offstage" denotes the areas concealed from the audience's view, signifying a distinct separation from the world of the play.
