Word origin
版 (bǎn, "version") originally referred to a printing block and later to an edition or version, so adding 改 (gǎi, "change") gives the idea of changing an existing version into a new form.
Usage tips
- As a verb, it can take the thing being changed directly, so Chinese often places a product, website, or interface after it without an extra preposition.
