Simple
The price of money borrowed is called interest. When you borrow money, you pay interest to the lender as the cost of using their funds. Conversely, when you save money in a bank, you may earn interest on your savings. Money supply refers to the total amount of money available in an economy, which is a different concept.
To "earn interest" means to receive compensation for lending money or depositing funds in a financial institution. When you save money in a bank account or invest in financial products like bonds, the institution pays you interest as a percentage of your principal amount. This interest serves as an incentive for you to keep your money with them, while they use those funds for lending or investing. Essentially, it reflects the cost of borrowing money or the reward for saving.

You earn an interest by depositing your money with the bank either in your savings account or through a fixed deposit. The bank grants loans to other customers and earns an interest out of it. Since it is your money they are using to give off loans, they share a portion of the profit they earn with you by means of an interest that gets paid out to the deposit customers.
