Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Onset"

A: Es poco claro. "Onset" significa "comienza" o "inicio", usualmente de algo desagradable como la enfermedad o el mal tiempo. Pienso que siempre es sustantivo.

¡"Offset" no significa lo mismo ni lo contrario! "Offset" puede ser sustantivo, adjetivo, o verbo. No parece que hay traducción buena. Como adjetivo, significa algo como "desalineado". El sustantivo es similar. Como verbo, significa algo como "compensar o reconciliar una desigualdad, una problema, o una desventaja". Unos ejemplos en inglés:

onset:
"I'm not looking forward to the onset of winter. I don't like the cold!
"The onset of the flu brings chills, aches, and a runny nose."

offset:
"The printer must have been offset/misaligned, because the text was shifted over by three inches!" (adjetivo)
"The offset between the opinions of politicians and the opinions of citizens leads to a lot of problems." (sustantivo)
"We need to offset the cost of our house repairs, so let's lower our food budget for a few months." (verbo)
