[edit]What meaning of call is used here? --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:09, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
- We have a similar phrase 'call into query' at the verb section of call for our 'request, demand' sense. I'm not sure if that quote really belongs there though. Perhaps we could reword and/or split some of our senses there to cover things like call for, call on, call upon, call into (there's also call into doubt), call of duty and duty calls. We do now rightly have a new noun sense though which seems to be the nounal counterpart to this verb sense, namely 'need, necessity'. In fact, I've just added a new sense 'to cause to be verbally subjected to' and moved the existing quote to reflect this. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 11:06, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
