Etymology

From 'geo-' (earth) plus '-side' (a surface or aspect), forming a poetic or archaic term for an Earth surface or geographical area.

Kelly Says

Though archaic, 'geoside' captures a beautiful old way of thinking about Earth—as having different 'sides' or faces, a concept echoed in modern ideas about different geological provinces and biomes.
