I was watching a youtube video of someone playing a video game called Splinter Cell and saw this piece of dialogue.

"Hmm...work permits, architectural plans...interesting...Zherkezhi has a hardened panic room off of his bedroom."

"off" (adv)

a. At a certain distance in space or time: a mile off; a week off.(American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language)

"off" (prep)

  1. located apart from: a village off the main road. (Random House Kernerman Webster's College Dictionary)

Does it mean it's not in his bedroom but somewhere near it?

Used in that way it means that the room adjoins the bedroom. You would need to enter the bedroom to reach it.

    I think a number of pedants might suggest that 'off of' is wrong, and should be 'off'. I stopped being one of those when I found 'off of' in Pepys' diary.

  • @MichaelHarvey OED sense 13 of off deals with instances where it is followed by a preposition, and 13b deals specifically with "off of". The heading states: Followed by of. In later use colloquial (nonstandard) and regional. Examples date from the 15C. Only 3 relate to post-WW2. This is one of them: F. Norman Guntz i. 15 I got hold of this very very old typewriter off of a friend of mine.. Clearly this is colloquial - you and I have heard people say that - but it is not something you will any longer find in the Times or the New Statesman,

Merriam-Webster says "off of" is a two-word preposition that means "off".

In this context, it has this definition of "off"

1 a —used as a function word to indicate physical separation or distance from a position of rest, attachment, or union
// a path off the main walk

So it means the panic room is directly connected to his bedroom.
