Morphology
The meaning 'a particular viewpoint or position' is directly derivable from combining 'one' (single) with 'side' (a party or position); the phrase simply denotes a single position in a dispute or discussion. This compositional pattern is common in English (e.g. 'one side of the story') and has clear parallels in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words should grasp the MWE.
Etymology
One side comes from the image of a coin or a page that has two sides. If you only look at one side, you see part of the picture, so the phrase means 'a particular viewpoint' in a discussion.
