Morphology

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

The noun is directly built from the clear phrasal verb 'sign up' meaning 'register', so learners who know 'sign' + 'up' can infer 'signup' as the registration process.

Etymology

Signup comes from two simple words, sign and up. The sign part is like 'to write your name' and up means 'join' or 'get on a list', so a signup is the process of writing your name to join an event or service.
