It can denote the physical side of something (e.g., a boundary, edge, or location adjacent to a central element) and, in rarer figurative instances, refer to 'one's side' in a contest or as an adversary. In spatial descriptions it typically designates proximity, adjacency, or orientation relative to a reference point. On rare occasions, it can also denote a party or faction in a dispute.
