somehow or other
By some means
Somehow or other emphasizes uncertainty about method or means while insisting the result will happen regardless: We'll get there somehow or other.
It intensifies plain "somehow" by suggesting that the specific way doesn't matter—what matters is that it will occur.
Somehow or other, she always manages to be late.
