Morphology

signup = sign + up (transparent) = sign + up

The 'person who has signed up' sense follows directly from the phrasal verb 'sign up', so learners can infer the meaning from the components and context.

Etymology

Signup comes from the words sign and up, where sign means 'to write your name' and up means 'join'. So a signup is a person who has written their name to join something, someone 'on the list'.
