Morphology

ten-sided = ten (transparent) = ten + sided

Formed from the numeral 'ten' plus the productive combining suffix '-sided' meaning 'having X sides', which is directly interpretable by learners.

Etymology

Ten-sided is simply two parts: ten ('the number ten') and sided (from 'side'), so it literally means 'having ten sides'. Think of a ten-sided die or a decade ('ten years') to help you remember the idea of ten parts.
