sidepieces

Eyewear ear hooks

Sidepieces are the two arms of eyeglasses that extend from the frame to hook over the ears, holding the glasses in place.

Also called temples.

In construction or furniture, sidepieces are structural elements running along the sides of something: The sidepieces of the ladder were cracked.

A sidepiece (singular) is slang for a secondary romantic or sexual partner—someone kept alongside a primary relationship.
