Please note my corrections in the quote boxes above. You must start every new sentence with a capital letter and always capitalise the first person singular pronoun "I". You need to work on your use of articles too.
I'm not sure what you mean by the underlined part in the second quote box. You can't ask a dictionary questions.

I want to know the reference as I ask in previous sentence. when I say "reference" i mean "dictionary name that cointaning the offset meaning".

And you ask Why I want a reference? I answer because I may need to buy that specific dictionary to check it's definitions so I don't have to bother you dear grammar corrector and other users here.
 
At no point did I ask you why you "want a reference".

I'm sure there is, somewhere out there.
Bookmark the following site, which has a collection of dictionary websites:

There are plenty of online dictionaries. There should be no need to buy one. (I used to have a Random House Collegiate Dictionary that was pretty handy.)

Thank you, It was a great help, I've checked all best online dictionaries I know (about 7) and couldn't find "offset", I will check your sites for closest meaning.

Edit: I checked your sites, I can't thank enough ❤️

You're welcome. Note the punctuation corrections.

There's no need to write anything to thanks us here on the forum. Clicking Thank/Like is enough.:)
