German term or phrase: Kurvenschenkel
"Die rechte Seite der Abbildung zeigt das typische Bild einer Hysteresekurve, wie sie gefunden wird, wenn eine oberflächenaktive Schicht expan-. diert und komprimiert wird, sowie das im Modell geschehen ist. Bei der Expansion des Films steigt die Oberflächenspannung an (= rechter *Kurvenschenkel*) und erreicht ihren Ausgangswert am Ende der sich anschließenden Kompression (= linker Kurvenschenkel)."

And yes, I've already ruled out "curvacious thigh"... TIA for your help.

Explanation:
Nothing wrong with "side" but arc is more mathematical. It's a two-arc curve as seen in the links.
