The area right next to a swimming pool, where people sit, relax, and sunbathe.
Compound word: 'pool' (from Old English via Latin 'pulla' for a small water body) + 'side' (Old English 'sīde'). This modern compound gained popularity in the 20th century with the rise of leisure culture.
The poolside became an iconic American symbol of mid-century glamour, featured in vintage photos and movies from the 1950s—it represented the new suburban dream of homeownership and relaxation.
