Mnemonic

Think of anything that is one sided. A battle. A sports game. A relationship. What makes them so one sided? One side always has a catapult (かた).

Imagine a one sided situation that you've had. Now imagine the winning side with a catapult. For example, a baseball game where one team is destroying the other. That's because instead of a pitcher, they have a catapult.
