opposite side
Across from here
The opposite side is the side across from another—across a room, a street, a conflict, or an argument.
In geometry, it's the side of a triangle facing a particular angle.
In any dispute, the opposite side holds the contrary position: Her lawyer is on the opposite side.
What counts as "opposite" depends on context—it might be across the table or across the world.
