sidelocated

Sidelocated is a term used to describe something that is situated or placed to the side of a main object, area, or direction. It implies a position that is adjacent but not directly in front, behind, or the central focus. The specific meaning can vary depending on the context in which it is used.

In cartography and navigation, a sidelocated feature might be a landmark or point of interest that is visible or accessible from the side of a road or path, rather than being directly on it. In engineering or design, a component could be sidelocated if it is attached to the side of a larger structure or system, serving a supporting or auxiliary role. In computing, particularly in software development, "sideloading" refers to the installation of an application onto a device from a source other than an official app store. This can involve transferring files manually or using third-party tools.

The concept of being sidelocated often suggests a secondary or complementary position. It is the opposite of being centrally located or front-facing. Understanding what is sidelocated requires an awareness of the primary reference point or orientation.
