[Old English & Anglo-Saxon elles otherwise, gen. sing. of an adj. signifying other; akin to Old High German elles otherwise, OSw. aljes, Swedish eljest, Gothic aljis, adj., other, Latin alius, Greek {not transcribed}. Compare Alias, Alien.]
Other; one or something beside; as, Who else is coming? What else shall I give? Do you expect anything else?

This word always follows its noun. It is usual to give the possessive form to else rather than to the substantive; as, somebody else's; no one else's. “A boy who is fond of somebody else's pencil case.” G. Eliot. “A suit of clothes like everybody else's.” Thackeray.
