A spin-off is something new that comes from something already present. If military technology finds civilian use, for example, that is one kind of spin-off. It is often used for video games , movies , and television programmes , but it can also be used when talking about companies or organisations . A spin-off may have the same people, places, themes or ideas as the original.
