Etymology

The term 'sidebar' originated in the newspaper industry, where it referred to a narrow column or block of text alongside the main article. Over time, it has been adopted in various contexts, including web design and casual conversations, to denote additional information or a side topic. The use of sidebars in websites became popular for providing easy access to secondary content without cluttering the main page. In conversations, bringing up a sidebar topic is a way to explore related but not central ideas.
