sided
側面のある
解説 Definition
sided は side（側面、側）に由来し、「側面のある」という意味で使われる形です。ふつうは two-sided や many-sided のように、どのような側面を持つかを示す語と一緒に使います。
Sided means having a side or a specified number or kind of sides. It is normally used as the second element of a compound adjective, as in two-sided, four-sided, or smooth-sided, rather than as an independent adjective.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
side「側面」に「～を備えた」を表す -ed が付いた形です。単独より two-sided、four-sided、smooth-sided のように、数や性質を示す語との複合語で使うのが普通です。side の末尾 /d/ の後では -ed が一音節 /ɪd/ となり、sided は /ˈsaɪdɪd/ と発音します。「どんな側面を持つか」に注目して覚えましょう。
Build sided from side plus -ed, with -ed meaning “having” rather than simply marking past time. It is usually attached to another word that tells you the number or character of the sides: two-sided, four-sided, smooth-sided, or many-sided. Because side ends in the /d/ sound, the ending adds a separate /ɪd/ syllable, so sided is pronounced /ˈsaɪdɪd/. Picture an object and ask, “How many sides does it have, or what are its sides like?” The answer naturally creates the compound adjective you need.

sided の語源・成り立ち Etymology
sided は side に「…を持つ」の -ed が付いた形で、語幹 side は古英語 side にさかのぼります。もとは「長い側面・わき」の意で、「側面を備えた」がそのまま現在の意味です。関連語は beside、hillside。
Sided is formed within English from side and the adjective-forming suffix -ed, here meaning “provided with” or “having.” Side comes from Old English sīde, referring to a side, flank, or extended surface. The formation therefore literally describes something as possessing sides of a stated number or type. Modern usage usually places another element before it, producing compounds such as one-sided, two-sided, or straight-sided.
