From Middle High German seite, from Old High German seita (also seito m), from Proto-West Germanic *saidā, *saidō, from Proto-Germanic *saidô (“string, cord”). In the 17th century, the ⟨ei⟩ was changed to the homophonous ⟨ai⟩, in order to distinguish this word from Seite. Derived from Seite originally.
