You can picture a slip with a stamp on it that reads PAID IN FULL. Nothing is owing any more, so whatever the money was for is now properly yours: your seat on the club list, your shares, your cover. English puts that stamp on two different kinds of thing. Stamp it on a person and you get a member whose fee is settled, and from there a teasing extension for someone who belongs to a type completely. Stamp it on money and you get capital, orders or a policy with nothing further to pay. The matters: paid-up goes in front of a noun, while pay up is the verb for handing the money over.
