calledsummoned

Calledsummoned is a coined English term used primarily in online communities, fan fiction, and fantasy gaming to describe a combined act of being called and summoned. It denotes a state or moment when an entity has received both a call to action and a formal summons to appear or respond.

Etymology and form: The word is a portmanteau of the verbs called and summoned. As a neologism, its use is informal and context-dependent, often employed to highlight the escalation from mere invitation to mandatory presence in a narrative or ritual.

Usage: In legal or formal writing, the term is not standard and can be ambiguous. In fiction and role-playing contexts, it is used to signal a two-step process where a character is first beckoned or invited and then bound by a summon, sometimes for dramatic or thematic effect. Some players use it to describe quests that begin with a call and are completed upon a summoning rite.

Examples: The herald’s trumpet issued a call to all lords, followed by a royal summons; the knight was calledsummoned to the council. Such usage tends to appear in discussions of narrative structure or game lore rather than in formal documentation.

Reception and variants: As a niche coinage, adoption is uneven, and many readers may interpret it as redundant or stylistically unusual. Related terms include summons, call, invocation, and muster, which more closely reflect standard usage in legal, literary, and gaming contexts.
