This month’s word is Iteration.
It means the repetition of an action or process; or an instance of such repetition. It comes from the Latin iterare – to repeat.
e.g. Can you send me a new iteration of the schedule as I’ve lost mine?
However, it is often used – incorrectly – as posh way of saying version. Strictly speaking, version suggests a new, updated copy of something that has changed since the previous one was produced, whereas iteration is merely another copy of the previous thing.
