Verb

even up

  1. (transitive) To make even; to make level.
    • 1895, Robert W. Chambers, The Repairer of Reputations
      I told him, smiling, that I would get even with him for his mistake, and he laughed heartily, and asked me to call once in a while. I did so, hoping for a chance to even up accounts, but he gave me none, and I told him I would wait.
