<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">from the side</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for lateral that I've seen before include "Sidelong" , "Shoot" , "Situated at or extending to the side" , "One type of thinking" , "This kind of sideways thinking does not use conventional logic" .)
