Sideway → It is formed from "side" (from Old English "side", meaning the lateral part of something) and "-way" (from Old English "weg", meaning a path or direction). The word "sideway" refers to a direction or movement towards the side.
Think of the 'side' as the lateral part of something and 'way' as a path — together, they help you remember that 'sideway' means a path or direction towards the side.
