Morphology

sum-up = sum up (transparent) = sum + up

The noun is a direct nominalization of the phrasal verb 'sum up', so the meaning is straightforward once that base expression is known.

Etymology

The word sum-up comes from the simple word sum ('total' or 'add') and the word up, like putting the main points together to make one total. So a sum-up is a short statement that gives the main ideas or the 'total' of something.
