delineate

'render' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'feed in quarter behind food store' is the wordplay.
'feed in' becomes 'neat' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'quarter' becomes 'e'.
'behind' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'food store' becomes 'deli' (I've seen this in other clues).
'neat'+'e'='neate'
'neate' put after 'deli' is 'DELINEATE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for delineate that I've seen before include "Indicate precisely" , "Draw" , "Sketch" , "Outline" , "Precisely describe" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
