Morphology

trailside = trail + side (transparent) = trail + side

The word 'trailside' is transparently built from 'trail' and 'side', indicating a location beside a trail.

Etymology

Trailside comes from the two simple words trail ('a path') and side ('next to'), so it literally means 'next to the path'. A trailside bench or sign is something located right beside the trail.
