sideview

From the flank

A sideview is the appearance of something seen from the side rather than the front or back: The sideview of the building reveals its true depth.

Often written as two words (side view) or hyphenated when used as a modifier: sideview mirror.

The term appears in technical contexts—architecture, anatomy, vehicle design—where profile perspective matters.
