About
The word "别的" is formed by combining the character "别", whose original meaning relates to separation or distinction, with the structural particle "的", which indicates attribution. Literally, it constructs the idea of "that which is distinguished/separated", evolving through conventional usage to function as a single unit meaning "other" or "else", pointing to things outside a previously mentioned or implied category.
