sides
Edges of shapes
Sides are the surfaces or edges of something, distinguished from top and bottom or front and back: the sides of a box, a pain in my side.
In conflicts or debates, sides are opposing positions: Which side are you on?
A side dish accompanies a main course: I'll have fries as a side.
To side with someone is to support their position.
