" else "

[Adverb]  | "else" | \ ˈel(t)s \

1: in a different manner or place or at a different time

2: in an additional manner or place or at an additional time

3: if not : otherwise —used absolutely to express a threat

Origin: before 12th century ;

 Middle English elles, going back to Old English elles, adverbial use of genitive singular neuter of elle "other," going back to Germanic *alja- "other" (whence, with parallel formation, Old High German alles, elles "else," Gothic aljis), going back to Indo-European *h2el-i̯o-, whence also Latin alius "other," Old Irish aile, Middle Welsh eil "second," Greek állos "other," Armenian ayl, Tocharian B allek "other, another";

  * Note : Excepting the frozen genitival constructions represented by Old English elles (cf. owiht elles, elles awiht, literally "aught of other" = "aught else"), the pronoun *alja- is marginally attested in Germanic languages outside of compounds (as Old English elcor, ellicor "else," Old High German ellihor "further," Old Norse elligar, ellar, ella "otherwise") and the initial element el- "other, foreign" (cf. Old English eleland "foreign country," Old High German elilenti "foreign"). G.E. Dunkel (Lexikon der indogermanischen Partikeln und Pronominalstämme) accepts the primary character of Indo-European *a and regards *ali̯o- as a thematization of *al-i "elsewhere." He rejects the presence of a laryngeal because *l-i, which he considers a variant of *al-i, shows no laryngeal in Greek lī́ān "exceedingly, very, too" and pálin "back" (where the is not lengthened).;
