Answer:

Written words are more powerful than fighting.

vers - turned

The word version comes from the Latin root "vers" which means turned. Different versions of a story can often take a different "turn" in the plot or characters.

His sneezing is what knocked over the houses when he went to ask for some sugar. These are two very different versions of the same story. They each have different turns in them.
