Etymology
'edition' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'editio,' where 'edit-' meant 'to publish or put forth.'
'editio' transformed into the French word 'édition,' and eventually became the modern English word 'edition' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'to publish or put forth,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a particular version of a published text.'
