In the whole React ecosystem render is used as a keyword to produce HTML/DOM abstractions though. For example class based components having the render function.

The rendering you mention never happened anywhere in the React JS code. Browser did the rendering internally.

Other libs/frameworks also use the word render. E.g. https://vuejs.org/guide/extras/rendering-mechanism.html

those steps could be understood as pre-renders:

from js class to dom objects => pre render 1 from dom to html => pre render 2 from html to display graphics => final render
