μέρος méros · G3313 · part, aspect, feature
μέρος renders צַד in contexts where "side" denotes a spatial division or portion of a whole (e.g., "side of the tabernacle," "on one side"), capturing the partitive-division sense that overlaps both terms' semantic ranges, though μέρος has broader non-spatial applications ("share," "part") that extend beyond צַד's core locational meaning.
