Favourite answer

The word 'render' has a lot of different unrelated meanings.  But in this case it just means to be made still.  Like being rendered unconscious.

Answer 2

It means that something was so profound that it made you be quiet and stop talking.

Answer 3

rendered as used here means "made" in the sense of struck or forced.  still means exactly that: unmoving and/or silent.  render generally means "cause to happen".
