Morphology

eleven-sided = eleven + sided (transparent) = eleven + side + ed

The immediate base is a straightforward compound of the numeral and the adjective 'sided' (itself side + -ed), so the structure is directly interpretable.

Etymology

Eleven-sided joins the number eleven ('11') and sided ('having sides'). So, an eleven-sided shape is simply a figure with eleven 'sides', like a special coin you might recognise by touch.
