The English phrasal verb "to make up" has several common meanings depending on context. It can mean to invent something, often a story or an excuse that is not true. It is also used for reconciling after an argument, meaning to become friendly again. In addition, it can describe forming or constituting a whole, as in smaller parts that make up something larger. Another frequent use is in cosmetics, where it means to apply makeup to someone’s face. It can also mean to compensate for something missing or lost, for example by working extra hours to make up time.
