Client-side is an application that runs at the users' computer. It could be a stand-alone application (more often) or it could refer to a web browser based interface (less likely).
Frontend also faces the end-user and generally runs in a web browser based interface. I haven't heard of thick clients being referred to as a front-end.
Backend refers to processes and services that are running either on another server or in the background of the users' computer. More often than not, it refers to processes that are not on the end users' computer. But the key, as you mentioned, is that the end user is not necessarily aware of the processes running.
Server-side is an extension of back-end but explicitly reinforces the fact that the processes are running somewhere else and not on the end users' computers.
