Etymology
The phrase 'side by side' dates back to the 17th century and originated from the idea of two things being positioned next to each other, especially in a parallel or aligned manner. It is often used to describe things or people that are closely associated or working together in harmony. The expression has since become a common way to depict unity, collaboration, and cooperation.
