rendering etymology

Etymology

  • Render: 1200–15, from Old French rendre, render, give, restore, from Latin reddere "to give back, return, restore, give, take back, place back, render, translate," from red "back" (adverb) + -dere, infinitive suffix (see -ture). Originally "to give back," used in late 13c. for "to make a return for something received" (especially in past participle rendered "given back, returned"). Sense of "to represent" (a scene) is from 1660s, probably from the notion of "giving back" a description or likeness of something; that of "cause to be or become" is from 1670s.

Meaning

  • To depict or represent (something) in a work of art, such as a painting, drawing, or photograph.
  • To translate (a passage, book, etc.) into another language.
  • To perform (a piece of music) on a musical instrument or with the voice.
  • To give or provide (something) as payment, compensation, or a return for something received.
  • To cause (something) to be or become.

Origin

The word "render" comes from the Old French word "rendre," which in turn comes from the Latin word "reddere." The Latin word "reddere" means "to give back," "to restore," or "to make a return." The word "render" has been used in English since the early 13th century.
