Crossword Genius

Off - or working (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

going

I believe this is a double definition.

'off' is the first definition.
(both can mean departing)

'working' is the second definition.
(working can mean going or activated)

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for going that I've seen before include "Ground condition for horse racing" , "on the way out" , "Disappearing" , "in action" , "State of ground (racing)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
