'double-sided' originates from the combination of 'double' and 'side,' where 'double' means 'twice as much' and 'side' refers to a surface or aspect.

'Double-sided' evolved from the Middle English word 'duble' and 'side,' eventually forming the modern English term 'double-sided.'

Initially, it meant 'having two sides,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
