The original term was broad side and it meant one entire side of a ship above the waterline. By extension it came to mean all the artillery available on one entire side of a ship, so "to fire a broadside" meant all guns on the port or starboard sides firing together, like guns in a land-based battery. Today it is one word: broadside.
