Morphology

sidedness = sided (transparent) = side + ed + ness

Built from the adjective 'sided' by the productive noun-forming suffix '-ness'; the geometric meaning follows directly from 'side'.

Etymology

Sidedness comes from side 'edge' or 'part' and the ending -ness 'quality'. So sidedness is the 'quality of having sides' or being on one side, like how a triangle has three sides.
