flip-side
Opposite aspect considered
Flip-side originally referred to the reverse side of a vinyl record—the B-side, typically featuring a less prominent track than the main release.
From this comes the figurative meaning: the opposite or contrasting aspect of something.
The flip-side of working from home is the isolation.
It suggests that every situation has another perspective worth considering, often one that complicates or balances the first.
