Morphology

Earthside = earth + side (transparent) = earth + side

A literal compound 'earth' + 'side' used as a noun meaning the Earth or its surface, which is directly inferable from its parts.

Etymology

Earthside joins Earth and side, and as a noun it means the Earth or the Earth's surface, the place 'on Earth' as different from space. So if someone misses life Earthside, they miss life on the planet, not life in orbit.
