Definition: (ditransitive) To cause to become.

Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look! You’ve come across the word “rendered,” and that dictionary clue is key – "(ditransitive) To cause to become." Let's unpack that a bit, you see. Think of it like this: "Rendered" means to make something else be something new. It’s about an action that transforms or changes what was before. It’s not just a simple “do,” it's more complex, you agree? Let's look at some examples: "The artist rendered the portrait with careful grace." – Here, the artist caused the portrait to become beautiful and detailed. “The chef rendered the fat from the bacon.” – The chef caused the fat to be a clarified oil, ready for use. Notice how there's usually a 'to' involved in both of those sentences, that’s what “ditransitive” means - it needs two words after it to make sense! It’s about directing an action towards a result. Do you have any questions? Perhaps you can come up with your own sentence using "rendered" and show me how it works? Now, who wants to try their hand at explaining this concept in a little rhyme?
