(render)
provide or make
Etymology
'render' originates from Latin and Old French, specifically the Latin word 'reddere' (later Old French 'rendre'), where the prefix 're-' meant 'back' and 'dare' (Latin) meant 'to give'.
'render' changed from Old French 'rendre' and Anglo-French forms into Middle English 'renden' and eventually became the modern English word 'render'.
Initially, it meant 'to give back' or 'return', but over time it evolved to include broader senses such as 'to give/provide', 'to express or depict', 'to melt down', and 'to coat/finish'.
