'go on off you go i' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'on off you go i' is the wordplay.
'off' suggests deleting specific letters (some letters taken off).
'you' becomes 'one' (I've seen this before).
'go i' becomes 'as' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'one' with 'on' removed is 'e'.
'e'+'as'='EAS'
