   Etymology: from offer.

   Plucking the entrails of an offering forth,
   They could not find a heart within the beast. William Shakespeare.

   They are polluted offerings, more abhorr’d
   Than spotted livers in the sacrifice. William Shakespeare.

   The gloomy god
   Stood mute with awe, to see the golden rod;
   Admir’d the destin’d off’ring to his queen,
   A venerable gift so rarely seen. Dryden.

   What nations now to Juno’s pow’r will pray,
   Or off’rings on my slighted altars lay? John Dryden, Virg.

   I’ll favour her,
   That my awaken’d soul may take her flight,
   Renew’d in all her strength, and fresh with life,
   An offering fit for heaven. Joseph Addison, Cato.

1. Offering

   Ticket to Ride is the first album by the American music duo Carpenters. At the time of its initial release in 1969 under the title Offering, it was a commercial failure and produced only one minor hit single, "Ticket to Ride", a ballad version of a song made famous by The Beatles. After the Carpenters' subsequent breakthrough, however, the album was reissued internationally under the name Ticket to Ride and sold moderately. The CD in the "Remastered Classics" series went out of print in March 2007. However, in Japan, the "Pack Series" released the Ticket to Ride and Close to You CDs together. The album is far more self-contained than other Carpenters albums; excluding the orchestrations, most of the instruments were played by the duo themselves, and 10 of the 13 songs were written by Richard Carpenter and his lyricist John Bettis. It also stands out from subsequent Carpenters albums in that the lead vocals are evenly split between the two band members; on later albums, Karen Carpenter would perform the lion's share of the lead vocals.

Examples of Offering in a Sentence

1. Gabriela Bucher:

   Economic fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic is having a harsher impact on women, who are disproportionately represented in sectors offering low wages, few benefits and the least secure jobs, instead of righting that wrong, governments treated women's jobs as dispensable -- and that has come at a cost of at least $ 800 billion in lost wages for those in formal employment.

2. Todd Rosenbluth:

   Based on the names and country profiles, it should seem they are offering you the same exposure, but they track different indices, their country exposure is going to be different, and that exposure difference helps explain why they perform differently. So far, the discrepancy has helped The Vanguard fund, Todd Rosenbluth said, although both funds have taken a hit since the end of June, when the Shanghai Composite Index started falling. Since then, The Vanguard fund has lost 11.65 percent, while the iShares fund has fallen 12.45 percent. Year to date, The Vanguard fund is down 6.97 percent, and the iShares fund is down 8.89 percent. Chinese shares have been falling on fears that the nation's economy may slow well beyond the 7 percent growth rate that analysts had earlier suggested would be a bottom for that market. China has moved to weaken its currency to bolster its economy and share prices. The difference between the two funds is expected to widen because the two different indexes they follow will be treating Chinese stocks differently. FTSE, the Financial Times Stock Exchange, plans to begin adding onshore Chinese equities, known as A-shares, to its broad emerging markets indexes, which Vanguard follows. The Vanguard benchmark, the FTSE Emerging Index, now has approximately 26 percent exposure to China, according to the mutual fund company. In June, Vanguard said it would begin shifting to a new FTSE index later this year. The new index will have a 29 percent exposure to China, including a 5.6 percent exposure to A-shares. MSCI Inc, however, said in June that it was not ready to include the A-shares in its two emerging market indexes.

3. Michelle Obama:

   The talented people who cook the food at your school will be offering you all kinds of healthy, delicious new choices. Foods that are good for you and taste good, too.

4. Simon Coveney:

   From my perspective, I don't see the European Union offering any new prime minister a better or very different deal to what was on offer to Theresa May, this idea that a new prime minister will be a tougher negotiator and will put it up to the EU and get a much better deal for Britain? That's not how the EU works.

5. Gianna Bern:

   The real test will be a global offering, in another jurisdiction, such as London or Asia with more stringent regulatory requirements.
