'pre-rendered' originates from the prefix 'pre-' meaning 'before' and the verb 'render,' which comes from the Latin word 'rendere,' meaning 'to give back.'

'render' changed from the Old French word 'rendre' and eventually became the modern English word 'render.'

Initially, 'render' meant 'to give back or restore,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to process or generate an image.'
