Morphology

version = vers + ion

Although analyzable as vers + -ion, the root 'vers-' is not a standalone English word and the sense 'a particular form or variant' is not transparently derived for an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Version comes from the Latin word vertere meaning 'to turn'. A version is something that has been 'turned' into a different form, like a new edition or translation, which is why we use it for different forms of the same thing.
