the.com/edition
The same thing wearing a different jacket so you'll buy it twice.
means A particular version or printing of something — a book, newspaper, or product — issued in a specific form or run, often distinguished from other versions of the same work.
from From Latin 'editio,' meaning 'a giving out' or 'publishing,' from 'edere' — 'to put forth, bring out' — built from 'ex-' (out) and 'dare' (to give). It reached English through French 'édition,' carrying the literal sense of a work pushed out into the world. The same 'dare' (to give) seeds a whole family of words about giving: 'donate,' 'tradition,' 'add.'
