páng

one side

other; different; lateral component of a Chinese character (such as 刂[dao1], 亻[ren2] etc)

standing (立) + [sound] (方) = beside, lateral

立 suggests something standing to the side, establishing its position apart from the main body. 方 contributes the sound páng rather than any directional meaning here.
