outsides
SayOWT-sydz/ˈaʊt.saɪdz/
- 1Plural of outside.
The outsides of the cabinets were sanded smooth before any paint went on.
Only the outsides of the shipping containers had been wiped clean.
Note
Only the concrete noun takes a plural: the outer surfaces of several separate things, as in the outsides of the boxes or of both hands. As preposition, adverb or uncountable noun, outside has no plural form, so 'waiting in the outsides' is a mistake. Plain outside already covers any stretch of space beyond a wall or boundary, however large.
