Definition
一旁 (yī páng) is a noun used in the fixed phrase 在一旁 (zài yī páng) meaning 'aside, to the side', indicating a position separate from the main action. Unlike 侧 (cè), which is a general noun for 'side' (e.g., 左侧 left side) and can also be a verb, 一旁 is restricted to this phrase. 侧面 (cè miàn) refers to a side surface or aspect, not the position of being aside.
