Morphology

chargeback = charge (transparent) = back + charge

The verb sense is the verbal composition of 'charge' + particle 'back' (phrasal verb), so the action of returning a charge is directly signalled. [Postprocessing: moved 'back' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Chargeback as a verb is built from charge ('a cost') and back ('return'), so to chargeback is to move a cost back to the person, account, or department responsible. This explains why you can chargeback a wrong payment or transfer a cost to the correct place.
