Morphology

new + edition

The meaning 'a version of a book or publication that has been revised or updated and reissued' is directly and compositionally derived from 'new' (recent, updated) + 'edition' (a specific issue or version). This is a common, literal noun phrase pattern found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

The noun new edition comes from book publishing: when a book is printed again with changes, publishers call the fresh copy a new edition, with new pages or notes. So today new edition means 'a revised or updated version'.
