Building blocks
ühe- → from üks (one), in its genitive form ühe
külg → side
-ne → adjective ending (turns it into an adjective)
So literally “ühekülgne” means “having one side”

What to remember
Like other -ne adjectives (remember sarnane?), the -ne turns into -se- as soon as the word changes form:
ühekülgne → ühekülgse → ühekülgset
