UK: ˈvɜː.ʃən | US: ˈvɜːr.ʒən
n. a particular form or variant of something, differing in certain details from other forms

n. (computing) a specific iteration or release of software or a digital product
The word "version" originates from the Latin versio, derived from vertere ("to turn"). The root vers reflects the idea of "turning" or "changing," which evolved into the concept of presenting something in a different form (e.g., a translation or variant). The suffix -ion nominalizes the action, giving us the modern sense of a distinct iteration or adaptation.
