OP The OED, like most modern dictionaries, jas separate entries for different words. This means that render in its various meanings, i.e., 'to give in payment', 'to melt fat', and 'to plaster', is the same word from Old French from Latin. I was just wondering how it went from pay to fat to plaster.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
