A rendition of information about rendition

The core meaning of "rendition" is "the act or result of rendering", taking us back to the verb "to render", which derives from the Latin rendere, meaning "to give back".

Render is a verb with many senses, but the relevant ones for us now are "to produce, hand over, surrender, or submit". The noun "rendition", which first appeared in English in the early 17th century, originally meant "the surrender of a garrison, place, or thing", a bit later including the surrender or forcible return of a person; such as, escaped slaves were often "rendered" (returned to their owners) by northern U.S. states before the Civil War.

Subsequent senses of "rendition" developed by the 19th century focused more on the "give" sense of "render", and "rendition" in the popular speech of the 20th century usually meant a musician's or a singer's "treatment" of a song.

5. To give over or resign (oneself) to something, as to an emotion: "He surrendered himself to grief."
6. In law, to restore (an estate, for example); especially, to give up (a lease) before the expiration of the term.
7. Etymology: from 1441, "to give (something) up", from Old French surrendre, "to give up, to deliver over"; from sur-, "over" plus rendre, "to give back".

The reflexive sense of "to give oneself up"; especially, as a prisoner; appeared in 1585.
