Reverse Standoff Voltage in TVS diode

Hi,

I learned a lot of information on TVS diodes. I can't figure out what “Reverse Standoff voltage” really means?
Example:

Nexperia PESD5V0S1BA, 115

- Reverse Standoff Voltage: 5V
- Breakdown Voltage: 5.5V
- Clamping Voltage: 14V
- Pulse Current: 12A

I want to use this diode to protect my board (Atmega328P and 9 LEDs (SK6812)) from ESD and a possible supply of 12V.
At the input there will be a PTC fuse, and after it there is already a TVS diode.

Is the “reverse trip voltage” the voltage at which the diode returns to its normal state after a failure? 5.1 - 5.2 V comes to my board, it turns out, if so, the diode will not recover after a failure.
