Definition

  • well off : Of a person: in fortunate circumstances, especially having financial security, at any level from intermediate (comfortably off) to high (wealthy).

    • well off : Of a person or thing: in a good position or circumstance.<!--By a quirk of idiom, in AmE today there is no broad/general sense of "well off" that stands in the semantic position of being a baseline to which "better off" in its broad/general sense is the comparative, although it is attested, thus either dialectal and/or archaic-to-obsolete. For example, "you'd be better off doing X instead of doing Y" is idiomatic and common, but "you'd be well off doing Y" is not idiomatic in AmE today as a way of saying that "you'd be OK doing Y" or "you'd do well to do Y" or "you'd be doing well if you did Y [i.e., were to do Y]".-->
