"Rendering" also happens to be the present participle of the verb "to render"; present participles can be turned into nouns more easily than infinitives (engineering, marketing, selling - which BTW are in turn all verbs derived from nouns).
Render as a noun is ONLY defined as "a coat of plaster applied to a brick or stone surface".
Given the way "burglar" has gone... I'm not optimistic (burglar -> burglary -> burglarize -> burglarization -> burglarizationist?).
