Young Edward is back inside (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

side

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'inside' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'young edward is back' is the wordplay.
'young edward' becomes 'ed' (short for Edward. I am not sure about the 'young' bit.).
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'ed'+'is'='edis'
'edis' back-to-front is 'SIDE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for side that I've seen before include "camp" , "Face - team" , "TV channel" , "Position to the right or left of" , "part" .)
