Morphology

version = vers + ion

This medical sense ('turning' of a fetus) aligns with the original sense of the root 'vers-' ('turn'), but because 'vers-' is not a standalone English base, the connection may not be obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Version comes from the Latin word vertere meaning 'to turn'. In medicine a version is a procedure to 'turn' a baby into the right position, so the name is literally about turning.
