setoff    
n. 衬托物,竞争,媲美

衬托物,竞争,媲美

setoff
n 1: structure where a wall or building narrows abruptly [synonym:
{set-back}, {setoff}, {offset}]

Set-off \Set"-off`\, n. [Set off.]
1. That which is set off against another thing; an offset.
[1913 Webster]

I do not contemplate such a heroine as a set-off to
the many sins imputed to me as committed against
woman. --D. Jerrold.
[1913 Webster]

2. That which is used to improve the appearance of anything;
a decoration; an ornament.
[1913 Webster]

3. (Law) A counterclaim; a cross debt or demand; a distinct
claim filed or set up by the defendant against the
plaintiff's demand.
[1913 Webster]

Note: Set-off differs from recoupment, as the latter
generally grows out of the same matter or contract with
the plaintiff's claim, while the former grows out of
distinct matter, and does not of itself deny the
justice of the plaintiff's demand. Offset is sometimes
improperly used for the legal term set-off. See
{Recoupment}.
[1913 Webster]

4. (Arch.) Same as {Offset}, n., 4.
[1913 Webster]

5. (Print.) See {Offset}, 7.
[1913 Webster]

Syn: {Set-off}, {Offset}.

Usage: Offset originally denoted that which branches off or
projects, as a shoot from a tree, but the term has
long been used in America in the sense of set-off.
This use is beginning to obtain in England; though
Macaulay uses set-off, and so, perhaps, do a majority
of English writers.
[1913 Webster]


Offset \Off"set`\, n. [Off set. Cf. {Set-off}.]
In general, that which is set off, from, before, or against,
something; as:
[1913 Webster]

1. (Bot.) A short prostrate shoot, which takes root and
produces a tuft of leaves, etc. See Illust. of
{Houseleek}.
[1913 Webster]

2. A sum, account, or value set off against another sum or
account, as an equivalent; hence, anything which is given
in exchange or retaliation; a set-off.
[1913 Webster]

3. A spur from a range of hills or mountains.
[1913 Webster]

4. (Arch.) A horizontal ledge on the face of a wall, formed
by a diminution of its thickness, or by the weathering or
upper surface of a part built out from it; -- called also
{set-off}.
[1913 Webster]

5. (Surv.) A short distance measured at right angles from a
line actually run to some point in an irregular boundary,
or to some object.
[1913 Webster]

6. (Mech.) An abrupt bend in an object, as a rod, by which
one part is turned aside out of line, but nearly parallel,
with the rest; the part thus bent aside.
[1913 Webster]

7. (Print.) A more or less distinct transfer of a printed
page or picture to the opposite page, when the pages are
pressed together before the ink is dry or when it is poor;
an unitended transfer of an image from one page to
another; called also {setoff}.
[1913 Webster PJC]

8. See {offset printing}.
[PJC]

{Offset staff} (Surv.), a rod, usually ten links long, used
in measuring offsets.
[1913 Webster]

SET-OFF, contracts, practice. Defalcation; (q.v.) a demand which a defendant
makes against the plaintiff in the suit for the purpose of liquidating the
whole or a part of his claim.
2. A set-off was unknown to the common law, according to which mutual
debts were distinct and inextinguishable except by actual payment or
release. 1 Rawle's R. 293; Babb. on Set-off, 1.
3. The statute 2 Geo. II., c. 22, which has been generally adopted in
the United States with some modifications however, allowed, in cases of
mutual debts, the defendant to set his debt against the other, either by
pleading it in bar, or giving it in evidence, when proper notice had been
given of such intention, under the general issue. The statute being made for
the benefit of the defendant, is not compulsory; 8 Watts, R. 39; the
defendant may Waive his right, and bring a cross action against the
plaintiff. 2 Campb. 594; 5 Taunt. 148; 9 Watts, R. 179
4. It seems, however, that in some cases of intestate estates, and of
insolvent estates, perhaps owing to the peculiar wording of the law, the
statute has been held to operate on the rights of the parties before action
brought, or an act done by either of them. 2 Rawle's R. 293; 3 Binn. Rep.
135; Bac. Ab. Bankrupt K.
5. Set-off takes place only in actions on contracts for the payment of
money, as assumpsit, debt and covenant. A set-off is not allowed in actions
arising ex delicto, as, upon the case, trespass, replevin or detinue. Bull.
N. P. 181.
6. The matters which may be set off, may be mutual liquidated debts or
damages, but unliquidated damages cannot be set off. 1 Black. R. 394; 2
John. 150; 8 Conn. 325; 1 McCord, 7; 3 Wend. 400; 1 Stew. & Port. 19; 2
Yeates, 208; 1 Sumn. 471; 2 Blackf. 31; 1 A. K. Marsh. 41; 6 Halst. 397; 5
Wash. C. C. 232 3 Bibb, 49; 2 Caines, 33. The statutes refer only to mutual
unconnected debts; for at common law, when the nature of the employment,
transaction or dealings necessarily constitute an account consisting of
receipts and payments, debts and credits, the balance only is considered to
be the debt, and therefore in an action, it is not necessary in such cases
either to plead or give notice of set-off. 4 Burr. 2221.
7. In general, when the government is plaintiff, no set-off will be
allowed. 9 Pet. 319; 4 Dall. 303. See 9 Cranch, 313; Paine, 156. But when an
act of congress authorizes such set-off, it may be made. 9 Cranch, 213.
8. Judgments in the same rights may be set off against each other at
the discretion of the court. 3 Bibb 233; 3 Watts 78; 3 Halst. 172; 4 Hamm.
90; 1 Stew. & Port. 24; 7 Mass. 140, 144; 8 Cowen 126. Vide Compensation;
also Montagu on Set-off; Babington on Set-off; 3 Stark. Ev. h.t.; Amer. Dig.
h.t.; Whart. Dig. h.t.; 3 Chit. Bl. Com. 304, n.; 1 Chit. Pl. Index, h.t.; 8
Vin. Ab. 556; Bac. Ab. h.t. 1 Sell. Pr. 321; 5 Com. Dig. 595; 6 Id. 335; 7
Id. 336; 8 Id. 927; Chit. Pr. Index, h.t.; Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t. Vide
Factor.
