I had to somehow or other tell her how I felt or we'd all die for sure

What does ''other'' mean here? Thanks

"Somehow or other" is a sort of idiom, probably a hundred years old, or more. It's similar to "One way or another," the analysis of which is a little more obvious. " Somehow " would be one way to solve the problem.
