victim / sacrifice
'das Opfer' and 'die Offerte' can, in special contexts, both have to do with offering or giving up something. 'Ein Opfer bringen' means voluntarily giving up something important. In chess, an 'Offerte' is the strategic offering of a piece in order to gain an advantage later. In everyday life, however, the words are not interchangeable. Learners may confuse them because both can involve a voluntary loss or an offer. 'Opfer' fits better with giving something up for a goal or for other people. 'Offerte' fits here with chess or, in another meaning, with a formal offer in business.
