Sideloading sounds like sidestepping (synonyms: circumventing, avoiding, evading, bypassing, ignoring, dodging, escaping, skirting). I wonder if the term originated on iOS, where you did have to circumvent things to install programs manually.
- toast0 1y agoProbably on the N-Gage, where you did would side-talk and so side-loading was the next thing to do :p But the terminology did seem to spring up with iOS. It makes sense to call it that there. But on a platform that allows it, it's just installing.
