an amendment would be making a change to something already proposed or passed. In this instance, the Constitution was already passed into law, so anytime a change is made to the Constitution it is considered an "Amendment". A new amendment can be anything from changing something already written into the Constitution, or adding onto the Constitution
Amendments can be "removed" by passing another amendment that nullifies the first one. The repeal of prohibition is an example of this. The 18th Amendment instituted the prohibition of alcohol in 1919, but it was nullified in 1933 when the 21st Amendment was ratified.
