repay
Clear a loan
To repay is to pay back what you owe—money borrowed, a favor received, or a debt of any kind: I'll repay you as soon as I get paid.
The word extends to returning treatment in kind, good or bad: How can I ever repay your kindness?
She repaid his betrayal with silence.
Something repays effort if it proves worthwhile: The view from the summit repays the climb.
