Leg side:
the half of the field to the rear of the batsman as he takes strike (also known as the on side).
Off side:
the half of the pitch furthest from the batsman's body as he takes strike - i.e. the right half for a right-handed batsman and the left for a left-hander.

Assume the batsman is right-handed. The area to the left of a right-handed batsman (from the batsman's point of view) is called the leg side or on side, while that to the right is the off side. If the batsman is left-handed, the leg and off sides are reversed and the fielding positions are a mirror image.

The field is notionally split into two halves, along a line down the centre of the pitch. The half of the field in front of the striker is called the off side, the half behind is called the leg side, or sometimes the on side.
Thus, standing at the bowler's wicket and looking towards a right-handed striker's wicket, the off side is to the left and the leg side to the right (and vice-versa for a left-handed striker). The stumps of the striker's wicket are called off stump, middle stump, and leg stump, depending on which side they are on.

When a right hand batsman takes position in front of the stumps, the areas to his right hand side is called the OFF SIDE and the areas to his left hand side is called the LEG SIDE. Quite the opposite of it when a Left hand batsman takes position in front of the stumps.

Leg side is the side of the field behind the batsman when he is batting, and the off side is the side they are facing.
