Hi, Thank you for the comment! Yes, 抵掉 (dǐdiào) can also mean "to offset" and it has an emphasis on the completeness of the action compared to 抵消 (dǐxiāo).

- 抵掉 / 抵掉 [di3 diao4] , (phr) to offset (emphasizing on the result)

We have added 抵掉 (dǐdiào) to our dictionary. Updates are available online on our website, they will appear in the app with the next update.
