Morphology

rendering = render (semi-transparent) = render + ing

Built from the verb 'render' + -ing, but the sense 'a coat of plaster' is a specialized building meaning that learners may not predict from the general senses.

Etymology

The word rendering comes from Old French rendre and the Latin parts re- 'back' and dare 'to give', originally meaning 'to give'. Think of it as 'giving' a new coat to a wall — a smooth, protecting cover placed over the bricks. That's why rendering means a layer of plaster on a wall.
