What does "Other" mean for iPhone storage?

My other section in the iPhone keeps on growing every week. Now it's 4.7 GB, more than apps, audio, video, photo... how do I understand what's in there? Any way to see the detail?

iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.1

Other is usually around 1 GB...


A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...


First Try a Restore from Backup...

Then a Restore as New is the way to go...
