Etymology

The word rendering comes from Old French rendre and the Latin parts re- 'back' and dare 'to give', so it originally meant 'to give'. A helpful image is a musician or actor 'giving' their own version of a piece to an audience. That's why rendering can mean a performance or interpretation.
