'non-offering' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the word 'offering' from Old English 'offrian', meaning 'to present or give'.

'offrian' transformed into the Middle English word 'offren', and eventually became the modern English word 'offering'.

Initially, 'offering' meant 'to present or give something', and 'non-offering' evolved to mean the absence of such an act.
