Etymology
'version' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'versio,' where 'vers-' meant 'to turn.'
'versio' transformed into the Old French word 'version,' and eventually became the modern English word 'version' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'a turning or change,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a particular form or variant.'
