The answer
OTHER
What other means
Different from or distinct from the one already mentioned or considered.
Where the word comes from
From Old English "ōther," related to Old Saxon "ōdar" and Old High German "andar." These Germanic words likely derive from Proto-Indo-European "antero-," meaning "the second of two" or "different." The root also connects to Latin "alter," which gave English "alternate" and "alter." The sense shifted over time from "second" to the broader meaning of "different" or "distinct from."
