other / different
'ander' and 'beispielsweise' are similar only in one specific expression: 'unter anderem' (among other things) can name an example from a larger group, like 'beispielsweise' (for example). 'beispielsweise' directly introduces an example and is clear as a single word. 'unter anderem' additionally emphasizes that there are other things that are not all being mentioned. Important: 'ander' by itself does not mean 'beispielsweise'. The similarity applies only to the fixed form 'unter anderem'.
