Morphology
version = vers + ion
The meaning 'an account or viewpoint' cannot be reliably inferred from the non-productive root 'vers-' plus '-ion' by most learners, so the relation is opaque.
Etymology
Version comes from the Latin word vertere meaning 'to turn'. That's why someone's version of events is the way they 'turn' or present the story — their own account or point of view.
