Other is all data that doesn’t fit into the listed categories. It also includes system data and caches. However, a very large other is usually the result of storage corruption, which can be caused by interrupting a sync. The best way to fix it is to restore the phone to factory settings, then restore an iTunes or iCloud backup. Instructions for these steps are in the links below:
