The (original) Opera browser introduced a left-sidebar which would appear on screen upon clicking anywhere on the left edge of the application window: https://app.box.com/s/f9qeeigx1aj07s5tq2af2cegfh8d7sv0 .

What is the proper UX term for this kind of sidebar?

    @Danielilo's answer is as good as any, but I've seen this pattern called many things different systems. There is no precise pattern name written down in the mystic pattern dictionary. Commented Aug 25 at 20:15

Slide-Out Menu

Slide-Out Side bar

Slide menus are a popular way to handle navigation, especially on websites and apps designed for phones and tablets.
They’re basically a hidden panel tucked away off-screen, ready to smoothly glide into view with a tap, click, or swipe. This clever design keeps things tidy by hiding navigation choices until you need them, maximizing the space for the actual content you’re there to see.
