The offspring or descendant is a conexion more distant.

For that reason, I used it. I've never heard of the word offchild and could not find any usage of it other than a website name when I did a search, including an online dictionary search. With this comment I had to look up conexion and as far as I can tell no such word exists in the English language (although there is such a word in Spanish that means connection . . . which doesn't seem to make sense in context).

Also, while descendant does have a connotation (and perhaps a denotation as well) of multiple generations away, offspring is used to mean the child of.

So I am curious, where did you learn English? Are you a native speaker? I know English is not the same worldwide (truly, I don't speak English. I speak American, because the so called American English has so many non English words in it, that it seems silly to call in English . . . but they persist in calling it English I suppose because English is the language used in the highest percentage), so perhaps you are from an English speaking nation that uses a different version than we do here.
