Morphology

elsewhere = else + where (transparent) = else + where

Meaning is a straightforward combination of 'else' (other) + 'where' (place) yielding 'in or to a different place'.

Etymology

Elsewhere comes from two simple parts: else meaning 'other' and where meaning 'place'. So it literally means 'other place', which is why we use it when someone or something is in or goes to a different place.
