Here the meaning of "render" is "make" or to cause something to be. Other meanings include: to depict something artistically, to provide or give service, to give up or surrender, to meltdown fat - like butter - to separate its components. One can also process images by "rendering" them on a computer. The most common usage is "to make" and "to give." The tone of the word implies a technical or formal tone at times and can sound a little bit dramatic or serious. But use it with an adjective to describe the state of something. For example, here, "the layout renders it <impossible> to move around." Ex: Can you render your help to me for a moment? => a bit more dramatic or formal than "give." Ex: Due to feeling sick, I was rendered incapable of helping set up the event. Ex: I will render the images tonight and send them to you. => computing term Ex: The way the artist rendered the painting is extraordinary. => to depict
