Morphology

nine-sided = nine + side (transparent) = nine + side + ed

The adjective is a straightforward composition of the numeral 'nine' and 'side' with the productive adjectival suffix '-ed' meaning 'having', so the meaning 'having nine sides' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Nine-sided is simply built from nine ('nine') and side ('side'), the same nine you see in nineteen; so a nine-sided shape literally has nine edges or sides.
