The word "render" originates from the Latin reddere ("to give back"), a combination of re- (back) and dare (to give). It entered Middle English via Old French rendre, retaining the core idea of "giving back" or "delivering." Over time, its meaning expanded to include artistic representation (e.g., rendering a scene) and industrial processes (e.g., rendering fat). The logic traces a clear path from literal "returning" to abstract "transforming" or "expressing."
