Morphology

paysheet = pay + sheet (transparent) = pay + sheet

Meaning is directly derived from 'pay' + 'sheet' as a sheet or page listing payments/wages.

Etymology

Paysheet is easy to remember: it joins pay ('money you earn') and sheet ('a piece of paper'), so it literally means a paper that shows who is to be paid and how much. That's why a paysheet is the document or list showing employees and the amounts they are paid.
