Morphology

repayment + schedule

This is a straightforward noun+noun compound where 'repayment' (returning borrowed funds) modifies 'schedule' (a timetable). A B1 learner who knows both constituent words can readily infer it means a timetable for paying back borrowed money; the compositional pattern is common and cross-linguistically transparent.

Etymology

Repayment schedule paints a simple picture: imagine a calendar that shows each date and the amount you must pay back. The word repayment means 'paying back' and schedule means a list of dates, so the phrase is a 'plan' that shows when and how to return borrowed money.
