The spelling of the word "were side" is actually two separate words: "were" and "side." The word "were" is spelled with the letters W-E-R-E and is pronounced /wər/ (wuh-ruh). It is a past tense form of the verb "to be." The word "side" is spelled with the letters S-I-D-E and is pronounced /saɪd/ (side). It refers to one of the surfaces of an object or to a position next to something. So, "were side" is not a valid spelling.
