'put into circulation' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'total edition' is the wordplay.
'total' becomes 'utter' (I've seen this before).
'edition' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'utter'+'ed'='UTTERED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for uttered that I've seen before include "Pronounced" , "Said (something)" , "Spoke and put into circulation" , "In law, put forged money into circulation" , "Spoken" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
