No, the word 'other' is an adjective and an indefinite pronoun.

When the word 'other' comes before a noun, it is functioning as an adjective, a word used to describe noun.
Examples:
Other people have told me that.
I will have the chocolate, you may have the other one.

When the word 'other' (others) functions alone as a subject or an object in a sentence, it is functioning as an indefinite pronoun, a word that takes the place of an unknown or unnamed noun.
Examples:
I have been told that by others. (object of the preposition 'by')
No, I will have the chocolate one, you may have the other. (direct object of the verb 'may have')

A collective noun is a noun used to group people or things in a descriptive way.

Examples are, a staff of employees, a flock of birds, a batch of cookies.
