Rendition
Did You Know?
Rendition entered English in the early 17th century
and can be traced to the Middle French word reddition
and ultimately to the Latin verb reddere, meaning "to return."
The English verb "render" is another descendant of "reddere,"
so perhaps it is no surprise that "rendition"
fundamentally means "the act orresult of rendering."
English speakers also once adopted "reddition" itself
(meaning either "restitution, surrender" or "elucidation"),
but that word has mostly dropped out of use.
Incidentally,
if you've guessed that "surrender" is also from the same word family,
you may be right;
surrender derives in part from the Anglo-French rendre,
which likely influenced the alteration of "reddition" to "rendition."
Dictionary of Problem Words and Expression
Rendition & performance
In recent years,
rendition has become as popular as performance
in the sense of providing musical, dramatic, or other forms of entertainment.
Both words mean
“the accomplishment or execution of acts, feats, or ceremonies”:
“The tenor’s rendition (or performance) of classical songs was well received.”
Rendition is now something of a “vogue” word,
perhaps because it stresses the unusualor distinctive qualities
of a performance or interpretation givenby leading popular singers and public entertainers.
Recommendation:
use performance unless some spectacular
or unique quality should be notedand stressed.
