About

The word 其他 is formed through the combination of two classical Chinese characters: 其 (qí), which functions as a general demonstrative or possessive pronoun meaning "that" or "its", and 他 (tā), which in ancient usage meant "other" or "another". Essentially, the compound literally and conceptually fuses "that" + "other" to create the abstract sense of "the other ones" or "the rest", a meaning that has been lexicalized as a single, inseparable unit in modern usage.
