Something else; something different or alternative.
An archaic combination of 'else' (otherwise) and 'what' (interrogative pronoun), used in Middle and Early Modern English to refer to something other than what was mentioned.
Before English standardized its pronouns, speakers experimented with combining words freely—'elsewhat' is a ghost word showing us how fluid pronouns once were, rather than the fixed set we use today.
