Usage Note

D'autres is the plural indefinite form of un autre / une autre ('another'), combining the partitive de with autres. It functions as both a determiner ('d'autres personnes' — other people) and a pronoun ('il en a d'autres' — he has others). The apostrophe marks elision of de before the vowel of autres.
