Beside

adv. More than that; over and above; not included in the number, or in what has been mentioned; moreover; in addition. The men said to Lot, Hast thou here any besides? Gen. xix. 12. To all beside, as much an empty shade, An Eugene living, as a Cesar dead. Pope. ☞ These sentences may be considered as elliptical.

Over and above; separate or distinct from; in addition to. See BESIDE, prep.

And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine. Gen. xxvi. 1.

This word, though radically the same as beside, and a corruption of it, ought not to be confounded with it; for it is rarely used in the senses explained under beside, except in the third sense.
