A version is a particular form of something that is slightly different from other forms of the same thing. It can refer to different editions of a story, product, software, or explanation.
From Latin 'versio', meaning 'a turning, a translation', from 'vertere' meaning 'to turn'. It originally meant a turning of text from one language to another before widening to any changed form.
Every time you tell a story your way, you’re creating your own ‘version’—your personal turn on events. Software updates are literally numbered turns of the same program. The word reminds us that almost everything we see is just one possible form among many.
