"Rendering" is the technical term for creating a graphical display.

In low-level graphics APIs, the rendering function is done by calling functions that draw lines and boxes and bitmaps and stuff.

For a web page, that's not possible, so in JSP terms, rendering refers to generation of the raw HTML tags and text that will be used to draw the web page.
