Morphology

pondside = pond + side (transparent) = pond + side

Direct compound of 'pond' + 'side'; the locational meaning is readily inferable by learners.

Etymology

Pondside is made of pond and side, which together mean 'at the side of a pond' or 'next to a pond', so a pondside garden or path is one right beside the water.
