Etymology: "Outcalls" is the plural of "outcall," a compound of "out" (from Old English "ut") and "call" (from Old Norse "kalla," borrowed into English in the Middle Ages). The pairing contrasts with "incall," where the client comes to the provider's location, so an outcall is a summons that sends the provider out to the client's own place.
