The answer
ISSUE
What issue means
A problem, question, or matter that is in dispute or needs to be addressed, or a single edition of a magazine or newspaper.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *issue*, meaning "a way out" or "exit," derived from the feminine past participle of Latin *exire*, "to go out" (from *ex-*, "out," and *ire*, "to go"). The sense evolved from a physical exit to an outcome or result, then to a matter under discussion or dispute, and eventually to a printed edition or installment of a publication.
