Shipbuilding verb

edit

We are missing an archaic verb sense, possibly something done to timber in ship-building. Search for "to be sided" in Google Books. Equinox 00:18, 13 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Done at some stage, it seems. Equinox 16:28, 31 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

TV channel

edit

Although the etymology for using the word 'side' for a tv channel may be out-of-date, aren't most etymologies like this? Most people still use it, so it's not dated in that respect. 2.97.166.22 21:44, 23 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

I haven't heard anyone say it in UK for many years. Where are you located? Have you seen it in print recently, e.g. newspapers? Equinox 21:48, 23 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
I say ‘side’ quite a lot personally. Perhaps I’m just dated myself though? Overlordnat1 (talk) 09:40, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

No Danish section

I am surprised that there is no Danish section in this page while a link to it can be found in siden. -- Fred Regent (talk) 18:02, 13 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Zid, meaning a wall (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/zid), may possibly be related to the first and second definitions of the noun side.

far side

side being "either of two parts or areas into which something can be divided relative to the observer" The playing field is on the far side of the park. (btw, what's the opposite of this meaning of side?) --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:34, 29 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

"Near side" is an option. Far and near are opposites. Equinox 12:44, 28 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

the side

For example in attack from the side? --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:21, 31 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Why would this need an entry? You can attack from the back, the rear, the front, the north, the best location for an ambush... Equinox 16:29, 31 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
