render  [ˈrendə]
vt.使得，致使；给予，提供，翻译，渲染（动画软件）
vt.提供, 表现, 使成为, 宣布, 翻译, 回报, 给予补偿
n.粉刷,打底,交纳

【词源解说】
14世纪早期进入英语，直接源自古法语的rendre，意为回馈，产出；最初源自拉丁语的reddere:re(回）+dere(给），意为给回。

下面这个例句：
The piano solo was well rendered. 
翻译为：那支钢琴独奏曲弹得真好。其实这里的render指的是“呈现”的意思。

有时候翻译为“粉刷”，其实指的是再刷上一层的意思，再给一层的意思。有的语境下可以译为“翻译”，最初指的是向主人转译下人的语言。依然是“给回”的意思。
