Bedeutungen:

the suffix (?) -s seems to be same as the English one
-- besides,
(whereabouts, afterwards, forwards, ...)

English must've had lots of words like [besides] in the past.

How diesmal he was lying low
on his rawside laying siege to goblin castle.

And, bezouts that, how hyenesmeal he was
laying him long on his laughside lying sack

What is [jen] ?

»jenseits«, Old/Middle High German »jensit« (»jene site«),
Early New High German »jenseit.« ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

»diesseits« and »jenseits« are like
»on this side« and »on that side«.

diesseits auf dieser Seite on this side near
jenseits auf jener Seite on that side remote

So, to learn more about »jen«, check out »jener«.

For example, to express that a woman is /remote/ to him,
Bill Clinton said, »with that woman«; he used »that«!

Obsolete Dutch: aan gene zijde (at the other side; also: in the
afterlife, the world of ghosts). A red house over yonder (ginds,
ginder, in Dutch).

I forgot about this nice oddity where Dutch has j and Ger/Eng have g:

Du. jegens, tegen (< te jegen) :
Ger. gegen;
Eng. again(st, < agains)
(unknown etymology but Germanic)

German [jen] is Du. [geen] !

Only "geen/gene" in combinations such as diegene, datgene, hetgeen.
But "geen" = "no" (there is no problem = er is geen Problem)
corresponds to German 'kein'.

Warum? Weiß ich nicht.
