upside

Upside means facing upwards or looking at things from a new angle.

Imagine you're building a house and you start with the foundation. When it's time to install windows, they have to face the outside of the house – that's when we say they're on the upside of the building. But "upside" is also used in a more figurative way. For example, if someone says their job is on the downside, but then finds out they get a promotion and it's actually on the upside, they'll be happier. People might say something is on the upside when it's good news or an advantage.
