version
A particular form
A version is one form of something that exists in multiple forms.
Software has versions as it's updated: I'm running the latest version.
A movie adaptation is one version of a story, the novel another.
Your version of events is your account of what happened, implying others might tell it differently.
Versions can be earlier or later, official or unauthorized, original or revised.
