You've seen rendering trucks, haven't you?  ;-}


My little paperback dictionery says for "rend":
- to remove by violence:wrest    [from the wrestplank?]
- to tear forcibly apart : SPLIT , CLEAVE,  RIP


most likely, however, the meaning desired is the following  for "render":

2: 	DELIVER : GIVE : also YIELD

In this case, string rendering would be the (static) friction yielding to
the movement of the string caused by changes in tension whilst tuning.

See you next week.
