1. ) The process of fully paying off indebtedness by installments of principal and earned interest over a definite time.

See Also Debt, Interest, Principal.
3. ) repayment of a mortgage loan through monthly installments of principal and interest; the monthly payment amount is based on a schedule that will allow you to own your home at the end of a specific time period (for example, 15 or 30 years)
