Offspring or edition (5)
I believe the answer is:
issue
I believe this is a double definition.
'offspring' is the first definition.
(I know that offspring can be written as issue)
'edition' is the second definition.
(eg edition of a magazine)
(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "Emit" , "Sprogs" , "The children to come forth" , "Give out; children" , "Offspring; publish" .)
