Morphology
The meaning 'the southern part or district' is directly and compositionally derived from 'south' (the southern direction/area) + 'side' (a part or area of a place). This locative compound follows a very common, cross-linguistic pattern (e.g., 'lado sur', 'côté sud'), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
South side was a natural way for people to name parts of a town: if a neighborhood sat to the south, people simply called it the south side. So the phrase means 'the southern part or district of a place'.
