How to spell version

Version is spelled V-E-R-S-I-O-N. It ends -SION, the same letters as in vision and division.

What it means: A specific form or variant of something.

In a sentence: The newest version of the game has more fun levels to play! ▶

The part people get wrong

Watch for an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear.

Same family: verse, invert, convert, diversion, revision. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Version” comes from Latin *versio*, from *vertere*, meaning “to turn.” It originally had the sense of a “turning” or “change,” which is why a new version is like a “turned” or changed form of the original.
